About Us

We are a group of people who are interested in machining and related subjects. Most of our members have a machining shop in their home (or are planning to have one), and view machining as a hobby, although some members are professional machinists. Our members make model engines, model trains, tooling, and pretty much anything else that strikes their fancy.

About 8 of us met for the first time in Otsego in April 2015, and the group was "born". The intent is to meet every other month to discuss topics of interest to home-shop machining.

The Southwest Michigan Home-shop Machinists group is open to all interested persons, but as a practical matter we assume that people in Southwest Michigan will be most interested. "Southwest Michigan" for our purposes is loosely defined as any place close enough to make it worthwhile for someone to travel to one of our meetings.
