There used to be (maybe still is) a machinist get       together called Cabin Fever where various hobbyists and on-line       machinist personalities would get together to break up that doldrum.       They would mostly perforate the poop, but there was also some horse       trading, and maybe a friendly competition or two. Never went myself.       Winter in SW Arizona is to nice to waste it visiting folks in snow       country, but they posted a few videos that looked like fun. Like seeing       who can dial in a part the fastest in a 4 jaw chuck. Stuff like that.       FYI: The one I watched Adam Booth was fastest on the 4 jaw.                     --       Bob La Londe       CNC Molds N Stuff              --       This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software.       www.avg.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
