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!

What kind of professional help do you need? Should not require a rigger to move that beauty.

If I ever move my blacksmith shop into a larger space I'd love to have one of these old guys around.
Or you can build your own from Vince Gingery plans.

I got a free one with the lathe and milling machine I bought.
Although it needs a new blade at about $30, so the price is right. And it is a lot prettier than the one I have.
And I have to admit, for an old machine, I kind of like the set-it-up-and-walk-away feature. It;'s slow, but you don't have too sit there and watch it.

..... that is just like a shaper, but for some reason, you always do. Mesmerizing beasts....
That is a good looking unit. I have a weakness for those.
I have a small Atlas power hacksaw. I also have a 7x14 bandsaw and a 16" Do-All saw. The little Atlas is better than both of them on harder steels or stainless after fitting it with good Lennox bimetal blades. It takes longer, but doesn't burn up more expensive bandsaw blades, and is always a great time for a beer.
Mmmm. Beer...
