• 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!

    Mechanical Tach Cobble Hill BC

    too bad about the 'no eTransfers'. I go past Cobble hill to Victoria every few weeks, but may be a week or two before the next trip. If I'm going that way sooner and other arrangements have not been made I'd be happy to get it for you. Hold on - I see the seller says he lives in Cowichan Bay...

    Shake my head sometimes

    Same here, but only 2-1/2 years so far. The lady apparently now lives in a nearby town, they moved when her husband passed. I sent her mail to her new address (which I finally got from a neighbor) for the first 1-1/2 years, writing her and asking that she update those banks. After the first time...

    Miller 180 Autoset

    I have a Miller 211 Autoset that I bought many years ago (12 or more?). It has always worked like e dream, no problems using .023, .030, or .035 wire, auto or otherwise. But different model than 180, and likely the latest version of the 211 is also different from mine.

    Shaper à métal (Metal Shaper) - $800 - Laurier-Station, QC

    My first thought was that the person painting it probably didn't even know what it was, or at least how it worked, but I see there is a lathe behind it.

    20" drill press, $300 if you assemble it yourself

    Recently got one that size and disassembled it so I could to move it in the BEV car and not the ICE Truck. (And that's "Internal Combustion Engine" not "Immigration and Customs Enforcement".)
