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!
Jacobs Super Chuck or clone?

- Start date
I don't hesitate to use 5/8 keyless in my mill and do it often with no issues.
What does SSB stand for?
Oh . SBB Jacobs . One too many beers on the beach .
I'm still not finding anything. The closest I can get with Google with any repeatability is JBB for Jacobs Ball Bearing. If I stretch it a bit, I can also get Super (Jacobs chuck) Ball Bearing.
I'm still somewhat amazed that the cheapo I bought (see earlier post) has bearings and even more impressed at how smooth they are.
