• 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!

    I'm potentially interested in Starrett or most anything else that I can afford. Perhaps post a list with suggested prices and we can go from there. BTW, I also plan to bring toys to the meetup for relocation to other hobbyists so a general swap table should be good for many of us.

    Just Atom3d. Affordable but costly enough to encourage me to actually learn how to use it. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Alibre Training

    I hate software that requires continued payments so I splurged on a copy of Alibre during their pre-Christmas sale. Now I have to learn how to use it! Any recommendations for tutorials/ YouTube videos/ whatever that will help me get up to speed?
