Thread: N.M.W. Who will I be seeing

I will be there this afternoon.

I went Tuesday. Plenty of cool machines to look at. Lots of 5 axis machining centres doing demos.

I'm thinking about heading in again tonight. I've got an invite for a free booze up after it closes at 8.00

I'll be going in again tomorrow (Fri), for most of the day. And theres a chance I'll get involved extracting a machine over the weekend.

Went Wednesday, was very good lots to see and inspire.

Sorry guys, I went today, and was thoroughly disappointed.

Out of one hundred or so machines, less than a hand full were doing anything.

Gone seem to be the days when a machine would punch out and fold up an aluminium pencil case in thirty seconds as give-a-ways.

No freebies this time.

I did find a stand that specialized in coatings for metal, of particular interest was a nice matt black coating on something that was not aluminium.

In broken Chinese, a young lass asked me "what you won't?" My reply was "sorry, I can't understand you, I want something to stop steel parts from rusting".

"rusting, what is rusting?"

At that point, I gave up.

Maybe next year?

Pitty we didn't bump into each other, It would have been good to catchup.

Well I was there till closing and didn't bump into anyone ;(
I did however make one or three very interesting contacts that I will fill you all in on once I'm home and off this damn tablet that wont work
properly on this forum.
And only this forum.

Hi All,
Yes, I went Tues. quite impressed, not to many Demos, Yes, I found their English hopeless,
Did get 2 Freebies, 1 was a pen with my name on it, but used to get a Brass tag for my Car Key Ring. So I have 4, & that means 8yrs. I've been going. 10 yrs. now.
I half pestered the Water Cutting People for a Allum. Bike, & surprisingly was given 1 that was a bit rough, but it is a bike for an old bikey.
Had a great day for a whisker over $10. $5+ for the train, & tram, 5 for a Latte.
Actually meant to wear my WW F ID but I forgot.

They don't exist. Your not allowed to take photos in there.

I wonder why , especially in this day and age when you can even buy glasses that can take pictures and movies..

You got to be joking right? To many naked machine tools running around?

Then I'll settle for scans of all the pamphlets then
