• 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!

Tool My name is…and I’m a tool junkie

Tool
I just go two more vises. Now I will have 10.... But I plan selling two to go back to 8. So I guess it is all OK.

But I am also getting 4 more drill chucks, two will be sold with drill presses but the other 2 look nice...
 
Been doing a bit of reorganizing and these three tool junkie candidates came up. I'm thinking of selling these...bloody hard to price. A Starrett 24" square is about 3000 CDN....how do you price a used 40? Or that bore gauges is still made...5800 CDN!!. Anyway, I thought I'd go for homeshop gold with these offerings...anyuone have their duplicates? Dabbler probably has matching pairs of each lol. Maybe someone will want to buy some, but more likely you toolaholics will just get a kick out of them. Be the first on your block with a 40" precision square!

The bench btw is 24x48"

60" Challenge Camel back reference flat (straight edge).
