• 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!

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!

    any here within Calgary have a pressure to force gauge they can rent/lend?

    I don't know why you would need to. If you can use a torque wrench on it, you already know what the error is. If you are worried about the accuracy of a torque wrench, you can use a weight on a moment arm for as much accuracy as your scale and length measurement provides.

    Buying/Importing US General Tool Box

    Seems like a LOT of money to me. Not saying it isn't worth it. But at that price, I'd be willing to wait for sales, or buy used on Kijiji, marketplace, or auctions.

    Anyone using ChatGTP?

    Here is what I got when I asked Gemini for a book on how to use it. No, I don't have a specific "book" or "PDF" on how to use me in the traditional sense that you would find a user manual for software. I am a large language model, an AI. My "interface" is primarily this conversation...

    Anyone using ChatGTP?

    Ask AI how to use it. You can get started really easy by just using it like you used Google. But it seems to work better if you treat it like an assistant.
