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

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. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Here is the page for downloading the manual for your machine over on The hobby machinist forum, I'm a member but don't have permission to download, maybe I haven't posted enough yet.

If the download doesn’t work, give me a shout. Please post the story of how the 1550 came to you and what work it needs. I’ve had my 1550 for over 40 years - quite like it.
OK chipper thanks I think the download bit isn’t available to me
I haven’t picked it up yet. It has a bit of rust on it from sitting outside and it’s awful dirty. It has a bit of where on the way also but we’ll see.
It won’t let me download the manual, but I don’t get along with this computer stuff very well, so I might be missing something
