• 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!

KBC sent me a "We Miss You" email today.....

My best 'freebee' from KBC was a mechanical pencil and pad of KBC branded graph paper. I already have the tap-drill poster (previous orders). No freebees lately.
 
A vendor I order tractor parts from in the USA always puts a handful of caramel candies in the box........ which is crazy because I don't think I'd every bring myself to eating them. Not in this day and age.

I bought a bumper in Texas, 2-3 months later got a handwritten thank you letter from the business where I bought it. I was flabbergasted, that’s such a great move on their part
 
The rest of my KBC order arrived at the post office. No notification etc. until after I picked it up, then Fed-ex's system sent me an email telling me I had it.

All good. I ordered the Edge Vise Stop. Always wanted one, used my $25 dollars off to justify it.
