• 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!

Where is a good source to pick up way oil and non-detergent oils for the lathes in smaller quantities? I would rather not have five gallon pails laying around.

Cheers

KBC carries way oil in 1 gallon containers:

I just bought the 5gal pails. It's not the best thing but I'm not worried about running out, I'm sure you could get 4 others to go in with you to get a jug and split it up. If I recall the vactra 2 and dte46 (for the gear head on my previous lathe) was about 200 for a 5gal of each from mobil1.
 
I've got a 5gal pail of Shell Tonna-T68 that I'm willing to share - bring your own container.

Message me for contact details and location.

I would love to take you up on the generous offer but I'm in BC!

P.S. Very nice reel for your avatar!
