• 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 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!

    Tool Milwaukee M12 multi-head driver

    Oh yea - this is my first M12 tool. It came with a M12 charger that I do not need since I have a couple of chargers that do both M18 and M12. So if anyone wants the M12 charger you can pick it up in Burlington or I’ll ship it for the cost of mailing.

    Tool Milwaukee M12 multi-head driver

    Is There A Local SS Compression Spring Source (only need half dozen)

    Oooops - I have many old invoices from Simpson, but not that one - so sorry no spec for that spring. If you like i could take one of my vise spring to them and try to match it. As i recall the best option was to get one that was 12” long and then cut it to match the needed spring rate (do you...
