• 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!

    Mitutoyo 1” micrometer wanted

    Mac should be ok but for the same cash you can get Fowler or Kurt from KBC. Or spend the extra $ 6 and get one with the little numbered wheels. Much easier on the eyes. Love my old Mit but I'm not sure I'd drop $ 150+ on one today.

    Craftex CX600 Motor Problems

    Good luck on coming up with a workable solution. Sounds like these are coin flip kind of machines. And by coincidence one of the larger Craftex mills just popped up locally. Janger seemed to like his so maybe I'll roll the dice.

    Help wanted - transportation of a milling machine

    Pics, make/model ? Probably more of a Clausing/Elgin. Seems a bit light for a Bridegport. Uhaul has trailers with ramps that you could roll it on/off easy. Any steel bar 1/4 - 3/4 and it will roll well. Had my lathe moved by a tow truck with a flat deck. Iirc it was $ 175 + tip for...
