• 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 looking to order a spool online but was going into HD so figured I'd just order it in the store.


Customer service sent me down to the ProDesk to place the order. I got the bill and it was,,,,,,, drumroll,,,,,,, $48.69! Holy Sh_t!
Half price from online. The order person saw the WTF look on my face and double checked and yup, $48.59 so I paid for another one real quick. And that's delivered to the house.

I don't know if it's a computer mishap at the Langford store or if it's just cheaper to order in store. Either way $5 a pound for flux core mig wire is pretty cheap/inexpensive so if you're running this type of wire you may want to check it out.

I'm working with .125x 1.250x1.250 square tubing, looks like a weld.

I've been using the same wire but in a 1lb spool and this wire on the 10lb spool acts the same.
