• 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 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!

TERRIBLE MISTAKE

Tried that . We see if I did it right.

I feel bad, because 30+ people read the original post already, and I would hate to lead them astray. (and not give credit where credit is due)
 
At KMS, your are on your own. I was trying to buy bandsaw blades for my protaband, and they kept sending em to the wrong part of the store. thye have a 'special place' for the portaband blades, and they bamed ME for know knowing where to look.

I like KBC. They were going to open a store in Calgary in 2020, but Covid stalleed those plans. I hope for 2022.
 
For what it's worth KBC has always been my is my go to store and they deliver the goods. Over the years I've had a couple of small hiccups that appear to stem from their item stocking/pick department. Brought it to KBC's attention and they always corrected it in a timely fashion on their dime. One really can't ask for better service than that so hats off to KBC.

The original KBC store in Old castle was within walking distance of where I lived for a while. I was in there so often, the owner got to know me by name. It was like a candy store for a guy like me. I moved further away after I retired. She wouldn't recognize me now. But it's still a great place with really nice people working there.
