• 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 Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is 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!

    The Drill/Milling machine is model# PDM-30. They appeared to go for 3000 brand new. I attached a picture with this response. Is that what you’re referring to as the tools which are another grand? I really appreciate everyone’s feedback on this. I just don’t have the room for it.

    He built his own CNC machine about 8 years ago. Looks like a Frankenstein contraption. He got away from it and started working with aluminum because of all the sparks, he was scared it might cause a fire. I found a little motor that he built, and it runs off compressed air. He machined all the...

    I heard of a place called Lenmark. Apparently they have a branches in BC,Ontario, and Quebec. They recommend reaching out to them to selling your equipment instead of going to an auction house. Let me give them a call on Monday.

    I would have no idea on cost for shipping if I were to put items on eBay. I completely understand that these are niche items and that I could be stuck with them for a while. I might have to jump on YouTube and learn how to use them myself.
