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. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

I use Resource Metals (resourcemetals.ca), located in Oakville. For roundbar, I can't find a better price. No affiliation. Just a good customer. Damn shame they're not open on weekends.

Aha! I'm in Oakville, too, and I did not know about this company. Do they have a minimum purchase?

No, no minimums at all. In fact, they're having a 20-year anniversary raffle. For every as-is (off-cut or end-cut) you purchase, they'll give you a ticket into a raffle to win one of three prizes - $200 off your next purchase, $100 off your next purchase, and $20 off your next purchase.
I buy almost exclusively from them, except when I need plate. Then they are reasonably competitive with the rest.

I was on that side of town today so I dropped in. Really good selection of offcuts. The young woman behind the counter was friendly and pointed out where they store various materials. Wide range of alloys. Then she mentioned that there is more in the back (like cast iron) that won't fit on their shelves at the front! For sure, I'm going to give them a go the next time I need something.

So, should I put extra coffee on?It's only 3176 km from my house. If I start driving now I can be there Monday morning when they open...
