• 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 Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is 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!

    Sold - Mighty Midget Radius Dresser

    Did you get the diamond with it Brent? When I sold that to him I sent him one of my best diamonds with it..... (at least I am pretty sure that’s the one I sold him, lol)

    Ontario Members: any interest in a meet/Greet?

    Hey all. I’d be willing to host as well if anyone is interested. I’m in Ancaster just off the 403 at Wilson street by 2 min. My wife is gone for a week in April and in May. My sched comes out on Sunday and I can post a tentative date if there is interest. That said this is not to step on...

    Grinder for sharpening metalworking and woodworking tools- low speed or normal speed?

    I would guess that you’d be able to get this for between $1000 and $1300. A ridiculous deal imo. Look at the cost of end mills and then think of the money you’ll save being able to sharpen the north American made milling cutters that you can pick up for $2 each (dull). And you’ll be able to...

    Grinder for sharpening metalworking and woodworking tools- low speed or normal speed?

    There is an old exact copy of the Toycen Journeyman on Kijiji right now. He’s asking $1500 for it, with the air bearing, radius attachment and a bunch of pieces. Search in Winnipeg for End Mill Grinder FCG-30. Worth every penny and it will do SO much more. Check out Cuttermasters on Youtube.

    Grinder for sharpening metalworking and woodworking tools- low speed or normal speed?

    I have the Toycen Journeyman from Cuttermasters. It is incredible and worth every penny, although I picked it up very reasonably on Kijiji. I also have a Tormek T2000 from years ago. It does a great job and will certainly accomplish a great deal of what you are trying to achieve. That said...

    Hey Guys!!! I dare you to find a better auction than this….. Starts Tomorrow.

    Wayne is actually a really good guy. I’ve had a number of dealings with him and he is both fair and reasonable. That Myford is probably the nicest Myford on the planet, and while his ask is alot it is as Gerrit points out, only an “ask”. I wouldn’t say that this is any sort of business for...

    Hey Guys!!! I dare you to find a better auction than this….. Starts Tomorrow.

    I’m generally pretty happy with the haul. The engraver is “well used” but nothing needs to be replaced and we’re I to do so my shop has the capability. I would say I am disappointed with the Interapid as I think it needs to be repaired..... live and learn! Next will be onto the power...
