• 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 Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is 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!

KBC measuring tool set

Ya I just imagine heading down into the weeds and snapping off a few 3 foot 3/4" "stalks" of cold rolled rod and maybe some angle iron if its in season and head back to the truck. I have spent some time down in that area and lots of great people and except for the million mile and hour driving I really enjoyed my time down there. I am always joking around life is too short to be too serious maybe I will become a stand up comic when I retireo_O
 
Well my Noga arm and my dial indicator have arrived and I am happy with both, thanks to @Canadium for the Noga suggestion its going to be a lot less frustration with it it works great. I bought an accusize gauge and am happy with size of numbers and the ability to read them. In the end if your checking run out or concentricity you are looking for the least needle movement.
