• 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!

Well, picked this up last week for $150, apparently the main DRO unit had issues turning on, so hopefully I'll be able to get it going, but the scales on the left are fully functional and will be the next thing I mount :)

Take lots of pics as you go! Keep us posted on the DRO, I'm sure the group here at this point has the capacity to fix just about anything.

There's nothing like having the knowledge to use your machine without the use of a DRO, BUT............I love mine. They're quick, very accurate (assuming you do a good installation). It's hard to use the machine now that the DRO is installed. Quality of work increases 10 fold.
