• 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!

Do not correspond with anyone going by the name of Pecker Stone
His real name is Perkins Oshiomha Estes Asunomhe
This jerk is living in Nigeria and has an online presence as a rapper but is obviously trolling web pages looking to scam people looking to purchase things.
I was lucky that my bank would not process an e-transfer to him, noting it was blocked for suspicious activity.
He claimed to have a rotary table for an Atlas 7B Shaper, sent a picture of it. At first he said it was $60 but when I emailed him he said the price was not $60 but he would take a reasonable offer saying they are rare and hard to find. He accepted $150 + shipping which is super cheap.
These bastards must sit in troll farms all day going through groups and forums trying to scam people. He claimed he was in Quebec.
