• 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 all, been building welding and fabricating for most my life. Always wanted to get into machining and damn Abom79 and CEE on YouTube have been pushing me.
So I looked and few weeks back found a millwright who was moving and bought his rebuild Bridgeport and lathe, the lathe was actually made 10 minutes from my house in Galt. ( needs motor)

I’m looking forward to upping my makings and having fun and learning all the many tricks of the trade.

glad to have this Canadian resource when it comes to sourcing things in country. Like way oil lol. And figuring out a couple of odd things with my Bridgeport I haven’t got into yet.

Fingers284 from Canadian Gun Nutz sent me over here.

Welcome Dave, from a scorching Brampton. Some really nice folk to be found here. Most seem to have been around the block once or twice so no shortage of help if needed.
