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!

Very busy week-end

After committing on a bench lathe and milling machine two weeks ago, this week-end was a good opportunity to fit them out with the usual goodies. Installed a QCTP, 2 axis DRO, and work light on the lathe and installed the bracket for the 3 axis DRO for the mill. The linear scale of the ToAuto are stuck somewhere between Hong-Kong and Canada... But it should get here this week.

BTW — that's a great bench design. I really like the partial cantilever. It should give you more knee room when sitting as well. Nicely thought out.
 
Thanks for the nice comments. Encouraging. Right now I'm almost done installing the 3 axis DRO on the mill. I will post few picks when I'm done. Maybe this week-end.

BTW, this little DL50 DRO is really nice to operate. Very nice addition to the lathe.
