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. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.

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!

I have the same one, mine is 36”. Biggest thing is there is no hold down, so a little more care is needed.

Only one way to find out...
Likely to have been rated for 16 Gage Mild steel (~.063", IIRC). Rough rule of thumb was half the mild steel rating for Stainless, and twice the mild steel thickness for Aluminum sheet.
Esp for thin stock, you want the gap between anvil and blade at or a wee bit less than, 10 percent of the stock (that you are cutting) thickness, else you run a real risk of folding the material and wedging it in bent-over format, between the two.
The first shop I worked at was a basement downtown. For heavy sheet, I'd stand on the pedal, put my hand on the ceiling, and push with my legs.
