• 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.

  • 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.

    Electric heater question

    I heat my 800 sq ft shop (10 ft ceilings) with 1 primary 4800w 220v heater. It runs on a 30amp breaker. Its enough to keep the shop around 10-12c on a low setting on its rheostat (dial). I have a second 220v 4800w heater I'll plug in on the other side of the shop for about 45-60 mins before I go...

    Mini Milling Machine, $700, Calgary, AB

    The seller is 'Chris Wood', aka 'cwood' (both kijiji usernames), a real douchebag reseller. I've had some wood working pieces for sale at various times, and his Kijiji/Facebook and text messages telling me my goods are junk and he'd be doing me a favour giving me 50% of my asking are too...

    TML-850 Lathe, Calgary Region, $1000

    Might be a hell of a steal for someone as a project. Some googling says this is a 'Goodway' 15x40 lathe? https://www.facebook.com/share/Z8ptUAzzuZ7tGGYq/
