Pm950v Looking For Your Thoughts Please!

[lcrepairs]

Hello,
I have been very happy with my machines.
My 950V mill is as solid as a rock and is really a big heavy machine. It is performing better or at the very least equal to the big name machines that I have used. The casting is very solid but not quite as refined as it could have been but only in a cosmetic sense and only in a few small areas. All of the mating areas are very smooth and fit together perfectly. The one thing that I didn't notice when I ordered it was that it has what appears to be a permanent riser built in which makes the darn thing very tall. I need a step to change collets, but on the bright side I have plenty of room to machine anything I could ever want.

Feel free to send me a PM or a phone number and I will tell you all about it.

Glad to hear, I should have mine in two weeks hopefully. I wanted to add about a 4" Riser if possible. Maybe it won't need it if it's tall. Sounds good. I'm currently using a dumb Little Machine Shop benchtop 5500. Can't wait to graduate from that chattering piece of junk.

I have a 1340GT and 935TV both are good machines. I have had a few minor issues and have received excellent response from PM. Get the biggest machines you can afford, handle and have space for. Do the DRO and power feed install yourself to save significant dollars. Good luck.

Cool, nice clean shop there. I'm cursed with being a mechanic so my shop is shared with tons of all kinds of equipment and tools. I'm currently in the process of building a wall to close off a machine shop area (climate controlled) but will only be about 20'x20' the total building right now is 40x60 with 14' walls. I'm sure I will end up building on at some point. I'm not far from 50yrs old so I'm starting to get too tired for construction.

Now you're getting somewhere.

Have you got it where you want it, or do you still have to move it to it's final resting place? (sure wish I had a shop that big...)
