  • 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!

Tool POS Tap Guide

If you are so Anal, what is that set of Punches doing in there?
You mean the round Tapping Guide Block from post #25 two weeks ago (short-term memory loss)? Here's a photo of it out of its storage tube:

However, you make a good point: I need to move my Big Gator V-Guides into that box, too – thanks!

And why didn't anyone ask about the soft-jaw pliers? I keep them in there so I can back off the T-Handle tap wrenches: even though I only hand tighten them, sometimes they are a bear to unloosen.

I guess once someone has replied to an earlier post it can no longer be edited, so here's the revised box layout:

OK, you win. THIS TIME......

Short term memory loss? I forget what that is. I don't bother segregating memory losses in any form whether short, long, or anything in between. My memory is SHEIT, and always was.

You actually have a plastic case for a tap guide block? Seriously? Why aren't all of those Gator Guides in cases too?

You know where this is going don't you....

It (almost) pains me to do this (guess the eyes aren’t that far behind the memory):

Didn't pain you one iota! In fact, it's obvious that you actually enjoyed that!

But it's gross, just plain gross. I really don't wanna know any more about that box of yours or its contents. It's all just GROSS!

And it's not nice to make fun of blind old guys with poor memories either!
