• 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!

Hello everybody
I'm from Sorel-Tracy, Québec. I'm retired twelves years ago now ,we chose to sell our bungalow where i had a pretty good homeshop in the basement. So i sold all my life long accumulated machinery. As consolation price i bought a small bandsaw and a light press drill. I save a lot of my hand tools in a heavy wodden cabinet, well organized wich i'm proud of. Everthing have to be compact for I have to share the 10x12 room with my wife's stiching activity. Some mounth ago I chose to replace m'y most missing tool, the métal lathe. I bought a Taïg mini lathe and a lot of accessory available. I was expecting some déception on comparaison with my gone full size lathe but not so to my surprise. I'm just beginning using it and I feel that, taking into account its size limitations it is an powerfull tool.

I had to re-discover the tooll & raw material supply. As I will focus on small parts, I need aluminium, plastic, brass and marginally steel. For tooling, KBC is my first choice. For Aluminium and Acetal Aircraftspruce offer a good place with fast response and low cost transportation offer.
 
Welcome from Calgary.

That Aircraft Spruce is a great place for so many things, I order a lot of stuff from them. They are a well kept secret I think.
