Hello everyone!
I'm considering the PM-25MV for my first mill. I've had the PM-1022 lathe for a while now, and have been very happy with it. It's been the center (pardon the pun) of a lot of fun projects (documented here: http://quinndunki.com/blondihacks/?page_id=3338).
For the mill, a key limit for me is overhead space. Can an owner tell me how tall this machine is, without the stand? I'm bolting it to a bench with an immovable shelf overhead and need to know if it will fit. I can't find this spec in any of the documentation.
Second, any complaints about it? I've read lack of a quill lock might be a problem? My comparison mills would be the LMS 5500 "HiTorque" mill, and the Grizzly G0619. The latter is appealing because of the front crank for head height adjustment. Reaching to the top rear of the machine like on the PM-25 feels like a hassle.
All advice appreciated!
