• 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.

Just wanted to give a heads up, I have not used these guys until today. They have some great sale prices & free shipping over $149. https://www.blackrocktools.com/ Yes, Canuck bucks even though its a dot-com not dot ca.

I've been hunting for a specific small Makita router kit & comparing prices. It came on sale at Busy Bee, not in Calgary so ordered on-line couple days ago, $15 shipping. Then I got an email saying 'backordered until May-2016. 5 months! (CC charged when ordered). Somehow I stumbled onto Blackrock, found it cheaper yet with the sale & free shipping to boot. Crossing my fingers BRT inventory system is better than BB.
