  • 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!

Here is a novel idea for wire feeding although it goes against wearing rings safety but tigging removes 95% of that threat.

 
TIG is my favourite process, although I am not very good at it unless it is on 1/8" steel and horizontal. I always admire people who can make it look easy. If this helps people, then it's a good thing. I've seen some of the automatic wire feed TIG videos for industry and those look nice as well. My gut tells me as processes get smarter, TIG, like OA, may become a thing of the past. There are some computer controlled MIG machines now that self adjust/correct within microseconds for voltage, stick-out and can even sense travel speed. Who knows, but at some point they may even bend the wire direction to correct for shaky hands.

I remember seeing my first gimbal mounted camera and being amazed at how it worked. Imagine if that technology were integrated into welding.
 
My wirefeeding definitely needs work on the other hand We would spill less beer with a gimbal setup!
there should be something like that for Parkinson's a gyro or something.
 
I have one of these but haven’t had any time to use it.
Very clever idea.
