A few pics to show off some of the features of the PM-940M PDF
In its temporary spot, ordering some tubing to build a platform and raise it about 6"
Side view of the PDF
This is where the spindle center is at full Y+, the dove tail cover is compressed at the rear, would get 1.5" more without it.
This is with the table at Y- while it is still fully supported by the bed, can cantilever to Y- another 2".
Very quiet at H3, and changes gears smoothly.
Control panel mounted on push/pull arm and the panel turns also. The panel at the rear that houses the wiring/switches is 7" thick and with the door open is around 14" from rear of column.
Spendle at center of table, the tape reads 14" to column.
Setting next to my old round column that I've used for the last ten years, and I'm keeping.
16" from table to the end of the drill chuck at full Z, that is with the motor on the head, think I could get a couple more inches with the crank.
The table is crazy long, this mill takes up some shop space.
Well thats it. Matt was the best to deal with, what a great guy. Im so happy with this mill. It is leveled where it sets, and it trammed to .000 at X, and .001 at Y. Not bad. Everything works, absolutely nothing scratched or broken during shipping and set up. Time to start making chips.
