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.

Installing a digital tachometer

@Susquatch my update to my digital tach dilemma. So I connect the 12 volt digital tach set up to my vehicle battery, although the sensor light came on there was no sign of life from the digital display even with passing the magnet by the sensor. Was working before I removed the kit from my lathe. Now I'm completely mystified with that. Shall pass the challenge to our son in Regina tomorrow. Meanwhile a new 110/120v - 12v converter is on it's way from amazon, should be delivered Monday.

Lost somewhere between + and - although always grounded. LOL

Connections connections connections... And maybe reversed connections too....

Lost somewhere between + & - but always grounded eh! Never heard that one before! I like it!
