• 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!

    CA-BC Grizzly order - anyone on South Island need anything?

    Having no experience in replacing said nut I doubt they require replaceing often unless damaged like yours. You likely wont need to replace a second nut although havining one will ease your mind some. I would check out ordering two. Just saying! Good luck with this.

    CA-BC Grizzly order - anyone on South Island need anything?

    @curmudgeon Having no idea what your cross slide leadscrew nut will cost via Grizzly, suggest you consider ordering each 2. Might save you a lot of unnecessary grief down the road. Good luck with this! What is the meaning of South Island ???
