• 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.

I'm working on a project and need one Ditron magnetic pickup head. I already have the actual scale. If anyone happens to have a spare let me know.

I sent a RFQ directly to Ditron but figured I would ask here just in case.

I think your best opportunity would be to reach out to Ditron on aliexpress. They're having a sale on, but they haven't marked down the dmr500. I'd ask for a 30% discount off their normal $130 cost

Don't forget that Ditron has an Amazon store. I believe it's Kate that looks after it. She might be in China cuz she replies at odd times, but she has that Amazon can-do attitude.

Kate is a pleasure to work with, she has always answered all my questions quickly and concisely. I used Ditron for both mills and everything works well.

Does it look like they are based in Shenzhen? (Where is it shipping from?)
