Recently we were looking for metal working equipment and noticed the link to this forum/group so we thought we'd introduce ourselves.
Who:
We are Calgary's largest maker space, a rather unique mix of artists, geeks, computer types, and professional trades/technologists and engineers.
We operate a 5000 sq ft facility located in Calgary NE near 32av and 12st.
What sets us apart from most maker spaces is our metal workshop. We recently added a 48" bridgeport equiv. manual mill and a 16 x 60" metal lathe both of these came out of a working commercial machine shop. This is in addition to our CNC mill, cut off saw and welding setup.
Over this year we have plans to add a CNC plasma table and upgrade our CNC mill.
In addition to the metal shop we also have:
A decent wood shop with plans to add a CNC router.
A reasonable equipped electronics shop.
Laser cutter/etcher with a 48 x48 table
A 3D printer room
A small foundry
As a non-profit group we are 150 members strong and growing. Every Tuesday evening we have an open house and everyone is invited to drop by and see what we have to offer.

Hope to see you there.
