• 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.

  • 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!

Welcome, that makes two of us from Langdon. I lived in the town for 13 years and moved south to an acreage 10 years ago. I go through to get groceries and mail!

Good to know there is a surface grinder in the vicinity!

Very nice William.
You mentioned knife making. I'm not myself but find myself lusting over a belt grinder (sander) like what blade makers typically use. Do you have one yourself or have thoughts in that regard? Some guys are buying commercial units, others are completing from kits. I guess it varies by the individual, budget, tools & nature of work but anyways thought I'd ask. What about heat treating. Do you do your own or send it out?

My grinder is eerf (free backwards) it is a free set of plans you can get from an internet search it covers most metal components and you order your wheels ect. at this time I send out heat treat
I guess an oven would make a good project
