• 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 Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click 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.

STM is a generic house brand that can mean practically anything. Someone once said Swiss Tool M?? but I think its an inside joke. Usually made in China (but not always). Sometimes decent quality (but not always). Sometimes the older mechanical ones were a bit better (but not always). I have seen box sets like that come up. Maybe hop on FleaBay & see if that price goes around. But ask yourself how often you might be using the last 5 or so sizes. BTW the sticker says 0.0001" but my bet would be classic 0.001" increment barrel with the vernier scale to then pick off tenths.
