Access Underneath the PM30MV?

[Ray C]

Since I also have a -30MV on order, and I’m also building a stand, this topic interests me. I looked at the manual and it wasn’t immediately obvious what I would need to do from the bottom. Would you help me understand?

Nothing special is needed. You don't need to cut a hole for an access passageway unless you feel better having one. If you did not get the bench, you might need 4 long bolts, lock washers and nuts. I have no idea if they ship with the bolts if you do not get the bench. The X screw is easily accessible. I believe the Y crank handle has an oil gib and when the table is moved all the way forward, you can access the rear portion of the Y screw from the top under the way cover.
