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'm in Oliver BC, 20 miles from a re-shipper in WA and bring stuff from FleaBay and Amazon acrosss frequently. Anything new up to $200 they usually let slide, same for used lathe parts. A lot depends on the agent. Last used lathe (11 in Logan) was brought across free as "parts for one I already own". Mind you it was in pieces and filthy.
Have a receipt with you and specify it's NOT for business use going down and coming back.
But you never know....I brought a used BMW across that had everything not needed stripped out and they tried to ding me for the AC the car didn't have anymore. Their reason? "ALL BMWs have AC".
