Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Here is mine. Yes you can make it OK. Maybe not every time but most of the time. He cut the flange and then with indicator it shows zero - no kidding if it did not then it would indicate that his spindle has bad bearings. The actual test is to take it off and put it back on, preferably doing multiple positions.
As you can see mine taken off and back on is around +-0.015 mm or less then 0.001 inch. Which matches backing plate on German chuck and probably exceeds performance of anything from China.
