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!

Not sure of what to make of the handwheel looks like some kind of funky repair job.
The rest looks good..

I've seen a few SM lathes of this size and era that had this funky tapered dual spoke arrangement rather than the usual 3 or 4 spoke wheels.
I'm not sure if there is anything wrong with this wheel or that the pic is just poor. But it bears close inspection if anyone goes to view this lathe
Yup, that is how SM made them. The taper spokes are to counter balance the handle on the opposite side.
(For laughs & giggles I chucked my carriage hand wheel into the lathe when I was refurbishing my SM1340. No vibrations whatsoever at even 1200 rpm…)
Here is a picture of the hand wheel of my lathe (now sold).

Nice looking machine (condition dependent ). I like the low speed.
