Our Forums
The most successful metalworking forums on the Internet.
Why three forums? Each forum has a different purpose and have filled them well.
It seems that different people have different preferences.
Some folks are not comfortable posting in a chat, others are looking for varied opinions and prefer not to ask "the guru".
Then there are those looking for factual answers without a wait, and we provide those on the guru's page.
We also sponsor a private CSI members forum and the special iForge classroom.
The new forums Archives Page now has a search feature with boolean variables.
