Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance.

  • 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!

Tabletop metal shaper on Kijiji.

I did not know that left / right and up/ down feed is rare - my shaper has it so I though it is somewhat common to at least have left / right. Or do you mean left / right AND up/ down at the same time? I have a gear switch on mine where I can do left to right OR (exclusive) up and down.

And there is no rapid travel - I just use power drill for a rapid.

I paid like 1400 for mine if I remember correctly (around a year ago) and it is a 13". So you got a smoking deal for yours.
 
Separate feed dogs that can both be engaged, or one or the other. Up/down is very rare.
