  • 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.

    In a moment of weakness, I have purchased another lathe needs a lot of work. Have had a few lathes through the years and I have an MK right now which I really like. But I saw a larger one and took a chance hard to get any information on it though thanks for any help in advance Joe

    If I was close, and that was legitimate, I would just read a truck who cares how much it weighs.
