  • 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!

Quest Industrial Calgary

Peter, let us know what sort of pricing and stock they have. They might be a great place to buy stuff!
 
Have bought from them on a number of occasions; service was great. As far as pricing: it's probably the same as a lot of other places -> good quality tools are expensive (I bought a SECO brand tool at the time). There seems to be some wiggle room when you buy a few items at a time - just have to ask. They can order just about anything if they don't have it in stock. My 2C.
 
And the Quest name comes up again. My brother walked in & asked if they had M8x50 stainless Torx head cap screw bolt for the motorcycle handlebar weights I made him. Normally would have said In Calgary? Pffft, right! Guy goes behind the counter & comes out with exactly that. I'll have to swing by for a peekaboo one day.
 
A friend of mine was doing some lifting and had bought the straps from Quest They looked very good, andat half the KBCprice, and cheaper than KMS as well.
 
They’re open sat morning too. I got some Morse brand reamers and dowel pins there.
