• 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.

    Jet mill, $1350, Carman, MB

    Looks like variable speed version of Rf-30 with smaller column. It feels like older base from RF-30 (from actual RF-30 as parts look identical) with a vari speed head from Jet - whole thing was probably made by Jet.

    Help identifying a cutter found in toolbox

    Cellphone service advice

    switch to Virgin - for $10 more you get a free phone and superior Bell coverage. I did not want freedom for free as its coverage in AB is a joke.

    Cellphone service advice

    Yeah but Freedom mobile used to be with Shaw for FREE. Then they switched once they got bought out by Rogers. Freedom mobile does not have good range at all - i.e. you are on rather crap network this is WHY it was FREE. I switched few weeks ago to Virgin which is on Bell network - so similar...
