• 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 was just tire kicking prices & stumbled on this site. Seems to have pretty good selection of common mics, dials, calipers etc. Looks like CDN supplier, CDN prices, free shipping over $99 & forthcoming 5% off sale according to ad. I haven't used them so cant comment there. Anyway aside from Mitutoyo they have other instrumentation goodies FWIW https://www.itm.com/

ps - just as example of price variation on exact model dial indicator I chose randomly 543-783, look at the spread among Cdn distributers (not including shipping which also varies)
$185.31 Thomas Skinner
$190.64 ITM
$213.00 KBC
$238.94 Travers
 
In this case yes, but I've seen it swing the other way. It always pays to check around & make note of sales. I've also pointed out lower prices to KBC with a web link & they matched. Another consideration is returns. Some places are quite unforgiving depending on the item, others are OK. Maybe it varies by how much moola you spend there. :)
