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!

Rust removal:
I have a needle nibbler that I've used on steel before welding or to remove welding slag (Princess Auto). Also used it once on an aluminum bistro table to remove badly checked/cracked paint. It works very well on steel and worked great on the very irregular surface of cast aluminum bistro table. It leaves lots of little dimple marks so maybe not the best if you need a smooth finish. It is very noisy and takes about 12cfm to run. Your best bet is to take it to a sand blaster shop. After sandblasting get the paint on asap - during humid weather it will rust very quickly.
