• 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 don't know how I find these guys...I think they find me. But this guy has a great tutorial on when to use which tap.

You know he's knowledgeable because he has his name embroidered on his shirt.

 
I was just going to post that! We obviously get similar YouTube suggested interest links.

'embroidered shirt' LOL.
I'll take that over Mr. NYC-CNC. On the plus side he gets into some of the most amazing shops which I love. But every 2 seconds its an over the top, Whoaaaa!, Awesome!, Unreal!, No Waaayy.
Its getting to be like fingernails on a chalkboard to me - wait no more chalkboards. OK he is like a young Bob Villa on PBS This Old House - wait, kids wont know who he is either.
Aw never mind, just watch the show LOL

Must because our first names and last initials are the same...Google thinks we are one.

I love these educational vids that make me think I'm smarter because I watched them, and didn't waste my time. Dislike the ones with too much drama. When I rule this planet I intend to ban exclamation marks.
