• 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!

    Shop Moving across BC with a lot of equipment

    I wouldn't recommend that. The interior of BC is a desert for good machines. You'd end up having to get them shipped to you anyways. Ask me how I know...

    Shop Moving across BC with a lot of equipment

    When I last moved some stuff in a 17' uhaul, it did not have e tracks, just wooden 1x3s around the box like this: I strapped a 13x24 lathe and rf-30 clone to them and I thought I had them pretty well strapped, but the wood broke in transport and my mill drill tipped onto my lathe, denting the...

    ODB - Extended socket

    That socket extender looks great! I'm going to venture that my musical tastes are different than most on this forum but for me, ODB will always mean Ol Dirty Bastard :D.

    Crossing Canada need anything moved?

    If Calgary wins against Edmonton on Sunday, might actually be pretty busy downtown, no?

    Horizontal band saw

    Nice score! I have a similar saw as well. All this talk of portabands had me thinking I needed to get one of those too, but hearing that you got a portaband but really wanted a 4x6 is making me think I don't need to spend those funds on a portaband after all... The stand and wheels on mine are...

    Craig's Craftex CX706 Comes Clean

    I crossed a few weeks ago, and where I crossed here in BC ArriveCan was very much still in play. YMMV
