• 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 Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is 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!

In cleaning up and re-organizing I stumbled on a KBC Tools Catalogue (more than 1" thick) with ID Volume 52. I've sent them an email asking what year that one was produced. What's interesting is now this guy is $3299

In the catalogue the same part # is $2499 or an increase of 32% to buy it now.
If they reply back with a date I'll post it here.
 
Everything's gone up. 10 years ago or so I bought a screwdriver bit set with a ratcheting screwdriver for $125 give or take. Price on just the bit set last year was $300. Not worth it now

Over 8 years this is not bad at all - Bank of Canada says 3150. So only 150 over inflation.

BB lathe is way over through - it is over by 900 or almost 25 % more than inflation!
