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!

@Tom Kitta - is it a decent vise? Maybe I can fix my BB 5" but it currently pushes parts up when clamping; I'd be open to taking a shorter route and getting something else that would work.
$200 in the 'Sauga would be the same as $150 in Calgary for myself because of my location, etc.

Its back looks nicely ground so that feels good. I reground the jaws b/c someone really hated them in previous life. The base has two small holes from someone drilling into it. Not sure about pushing parts up, I could put a part in and check whatever its bad - even Kurt pushes a bit up so I just hammer them in onto the parallels and make sure both parallels don't move.
