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!

Fortuitous that it was still available. I remember it being a clean machine that is like a mini version of the 4m i have. There is also a 24" shaper available up near lands end if you are feeling brave.

Ahh yes the eternal struggle. Its pretty compact on its own stand. here is a picI'm still trying to figure out where I will put it
Brilliant, thanks for that.
I'll need to rent a trailer to bring it home as my truck has a canopy and it's too tall for my engine hoist to reach.
I'
I'm pretty sure @YotaBota has a spot for it. He probably even has a trailer.I'm still trying to figure out where I will put it
Pretty sure you need a permit for one in Saanich.I do have a trailer but if it's in my trailer it won't be stopping in Sannich! LOL
Permit for the trailer or the shaper,,,,,, or both. lol
@David if you need a hand I can probably be made available.
In that case I can't help you as we'll be in Amsterdam a week from Sunday.
We had to rig up a special harness to get my Ammco in under the truck cap using their engine hoist. My backup plan was to lay it on its side on a skid with 2x4 blocking to protect the handles and hardware. But there is no oil case on the AMMCO so sideways wouldnt have been as big an issue as a model with oil. It wasn't needed, but there wasn't a half inch to spare.
This Elliot has the factory stand. I'm inclined to pull the shaper off the stand just so it's not so top heavy.
Unless it's the model which has the motor in the stand.
You can keep it in my shop.I'm still trying to figure out where I will put it
