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!
New Never-Twist clamps
- Thread starter Brian26
- Start date
Tom - Great idea. I made a prototype using hex bar, but that seemed too fancy. I may knock this apart and try the round bar stock I have here - somewhere...
Apart from making and fitting the pads, the second clamp is done. I may replace the square brass at the end of the handles as suggested by Tom. But first, the pads. I can now choose between copper, brass, aluminum and bronze - after an expensive shopping experience. I like the look of bronze, but something I read suggests it might be too slippery for pads? Any ideas? Anyhow - here are more images of the clamp fully assembled with no pads. I took some close-ups for those of you who are curious.
