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!

Poor Dan - he gets blamed for a lot of things around here. Of course he does stir up more than his share of trouble....
That photo of @Dan Dubeau's knee almost kissing the tar tells it all.

Jackpot! I love spending other peoples money, especially when I have none of my own right now .
In all fairness, it IS an awesome press, and a pretty fair price. I was very happy to see it posted so far away.

Don't we all!
Actually I recently bought a 3 ton Vevor cuz I got tired of waiting for one on-line. Let's just say that it isn't one of their better products...... It arrived broken, needed repair, and isn't very smooth at all. I'd have done cart wheels to have had that one pop up around here back then. Yet another reason why he sucks.....
But ya, awesome get!
I almost bought a Vevor press last week.
Some suggestions.
1. Cut a hole in your bench under the Ram so you can use longer drifts.
2. Make an adjustable height soft landing pad to sit under the hole to gently catch falling parts.
3. Yours might not need it, but I added a dog to stop the Ram from dropping on its own due to gravity.

Keyway broaches can break if they hit the floor.

Well with the ratchet mechanism you can still likely make it work ok
Unfortunately it jams up.
I have seen a nifty gear repair where a fellow drilled and tapped a line of holes and then loctited in a line of cap screws and then filed the heads to match the gear profile.
I don't know if the ram is cast or bar stock. If it's bar stock I may be able to lay down a MIG bead and then profile that.
