• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • 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!

    I'm looking a BB tools, and David above is in contact with them and the msg reads brushless motors now, good thing. I see BB has the power feed add on as well but no DRO kit.

    The dollar exchange has always killed us, and if I can find it here with "different stickers and paint" same thing and from the same place, that's where I am at. I think it's about 60% more after the US nails China for 30% and we get whacked another 25% in exchange rates, then duty and or taxes...

    That's all the encouragement I needed, not really but when head office hears the truck beeper backing up in the driveway I'll give her your name. I have been looking at the craftex as mentioned in this thread, cx601, but I'm in no hurry, buy once cry once, I'll need a coffin big enough cause...
