• 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!

    Scammers

    Good on you for wasting the scammers time and having some fun doing it. I have said many times, the only safe deal is cash and in person. My prediction - A.I. is going to make these current scams seem like child's play. The scammers will become very convincing.

    What Ever Happened to All of the Great Canadian Machine Tool Builders?

    Parts washer solvent

    Is your parts washer pump compatible with petroleum based solvents? When I went to replace my 20 year old failed pump, I was surprised how many pumps were for water based products only. For example, the replacement pump from Princess Auto retails for almost $45, and states not for solvent...
