• 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!

    Shoulder check

    I just put my foot down, especially when in the Porsche, don't need to shoulder check when you accelerate past the vehicle beside you lol Honestly though, it really depends on traffic, I keep pretty good spatial awareness of what's around me and try to time lane changes in quieter areas or plan...

    iPhone to Android - phone recommendations?

    I'm going on 5 years and still get 2 days of battery life out of my Pixel 5...it's very much a case of the battery lasting the life of the phone, as 5 years is about right before needing to stay current.

    iPhone to Android - phone recommendations?

    Did the Samsung stay on the same network (both provider and tech) as the Pixel did?

    Gearwrench 19 Piece 1/2" SAE Socket Set - $56

    https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B078Z42M51 Pretty good deal for a quality 1/2" drive set, comes with the 90 tooth ratchet which alone sells for close to this price, let alone all the sockets/extension/breaker.

    iPhone to Android - phone recommendations?

    The Samsung phones usually do have the latest hardware gimmicks, but their implementation of Android is just crap. Nothing beats stock Android for a clean user experience.

    iPhone to Android - phone recommendations?

    The Nexus phones have been gone for ages. The "OEM" Google phones now are the Pixel. They still keep a "stock" Android on them and good updates. I have a Pixel 5 going on 4.5 years, still decent, though I only get a couple days of battery life now instead of 4-5 days like when it was new...

    Tool Good Quality Files and where to purchase them?

    I went and checked out all my relatively recent Nicholson files, not one from China...mostly Mexico, some Brazil.

    Mitutoyo 1" dial indicator 2416a - $77

    Another random Amazon price drop if it's still at the lower number: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B09FR3KQ89 (shipped and sold by amazon.ca) This is around half price of what these usually go for.

    Mitutoyo Metric Thread Pitch Gauge - Amazon $16.51

    https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B001OBUZN6?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Decent deal if it's still on for $16.51 when you click the link :) (no, not an affiliate one, but admins - please feel free to make one and get a few bucks off this)

    Cyclical Mill Vibration & Power Discussion

    Shame you're so far away, I'd bring my scope (have a decent little Siglent) and couple Fluke instruments by to check the lines for you.

    Words of caution - STOP sending me SALES e-mail

    There's an unsubscribe link at the bottom of almost all of these emails, just do that, it works 95% of the time....obviously be mindful of phishing when doing it, but any legit business it's a requirement to have an unsub link.

    Something off with Vevor

    Link to item with delivery? It's likely not shipped by amazon if it doesn't come with free shipping with prime. I've had free delivery on some insane things, including items that have arrived freight like my 56" SPG International tool box lol
