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!

This is very wise. Going slow will tend to reduce the chances of impulse buys of inexpensive stuff that looks better than it is. Especially things like sets of tooling that look great but are mostly junk in hindsight.

Good news, I had a electrician tech pass by the garage to fix his truck, I asked him about the electronics and in particular the rpm sensor in my mill. Seems like the rpm sensor was an add on either before or after the VFD. He did tell me that the rpm was a "Redlion" which is a quality company, not a 10$ chinese tach.
One thing for sure, this mill was upgraded with some quality add ons, if needed it could be parted out for way more then I payed for it.
Good day

Yes
On the other hand, 23 posts into this and you are no closer to having a working RPM sensor, while the $10 asian one would have been on your door step by now and ready to install.
