  • 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.

November is rotary table month!

Hey Ian,
Did you see any smaller Rotary Tables on your travels to auctions ?
I could use a 6” Diameter unit.

One reason I got this one is that it was the smallest one! Typically in these industrial auctions you see large 12 inch or even 14 inch RT's. Don't think I've ever seen a 6 inch in an industrial auction.
 
Nice catch! Been keeping my eye out for a 6 - 8" RT myself.

Anyone have any experience with the (cheap) Vevor offering? I'm presuming it's bare bones and a bit crude(?).

D:cool:

Ok, thanks Ian.
I will keep searching.

Dave - FYI
I bought a VEVOR X-Y mill table, last year, that seems pretty robust and accurate.
Good castings and adjustable jibs for both axis travel.
 
My 8” I got at an auction and it’s actually the second 8” I got from an auction. The first was a three slot and the second had 4 slots and came with a bison 3 jaw chuck so I sold the first one.

Both were STM branded but based on the model number and appearance were made by Vertex. The Vertex branded ones aren’t terribly expensive new.
