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!

I've had my air beveler for 2 yrs, love it. Gives a professional finish to the Aluminium work I do.
I also have to o-ring kit but have yet to use it, primarily for speed pull repair.

I really like the look of those allen wrenches. They appear to be longer than the set I have. What is the overall length? Were they an on line purchase?
I just bought the metric Bondhaus ones, but they (the Wiha) look way better.

I grabbed a cheap set (ROK I think) last year, three of the ball ends have broken off because they were really too short so I was always turning on an angle
Both the metric and imperial are the same length
3/8 OL is 9" shank is 8", 1/8" OL 7" shank is 6"
I bought from Amazon.ca.
I went with Wiha as they had the best review

Let us know how that beveling tool works out. I use a trim router with a chamfer bit at work/home for aluminum, but have been interested in trying one of those out too. A lot of mixed reviews on them has me hesitant to light $100 on fire to find out.

I decided to stop being cheap and just bought this one after posting.

I have some steel jobs coming up, and it would be handy. I don't use the trim router for steel. I'll post a review after I abuse it for a bit.

I'm curious to know how you like it. Looking forward to some feed back.

I'll post a review when I get it and get a chance to play with it. I'm not expecting much from steel, but even for aluminum it would be nice to have another tool at my disposal. The form factor of these things looks perfect for what they're intended for, I just hope the import clone factories didn't screw up the execution too much that it's essentially useless as a functioning tool.
