I guess I'll take a few stabs in the dark and see what falls through the cracks. If I find something, I might come back here and ask for opinions.

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!

@Susquatch Here is the video where I learned how to dress a diamond wheel, in the manner @Mcgyver mentioned. I did not see the link he referred to but I'm sure they're similar. Robin uses molybdenum rod over plain steel, I used cold rolled because it is what I had but I'm going to order some molybdenum rods to try instead.
Once I get the manual surface grinder all set up I'm going to permanently mount a few wheels on arbors as robin illustrates here.
I like the way he centered the wheel using a drilled nut. But I wonder why he didn't just make a new nut. No sense softening and drilling an oem nut.
First I have to find some appropriate wheels. But I don't really know what wheels to get.
If I had enough arbours, I'd prolly mount the diamond wheels permanently too, but they are expensive. So I'll be lucky to even dedicate one.
