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!
Does anyone recognize what manufacturer this is?

I have been trying to help Kevin identify the shaper.
We now think that the logo has two letters in it: an “I” and a “w”. I thought it could also be a “J”. But we have reason to believe the machine is from Europe. So an old gothic German “I” looks very close to what is in the picture.

I will post it on the Model Engineer forum. they are UK based and Brits use lots of European mainland produced machines. My father imported this machine and a hundred or so others from Denmark in 1980. I bought it from him and used it for years.

[mention]johnnielsen [/mention] any idea why the base and body were separated by about 1” with spacer blocks ( basically made it one inch taller)

No, he had “this machine”

You know Kevin, I never noticed that it was blocked up. It certainly wasn't done by me. It was about 5 inches too low for me as it was since I used it to make millions of bends in stainless steel wire (3/32 to 1/4 inch diameter) and spent endless hours standing in front of the ram.

Yup. Bending, surface grinding, deep drawing small sheet metal items: lots of other uses.
