Well I finally got around to downloading some pictures to the computer that I took of the mill while unloading. So I will try my first attempt at posting some pictures. I have the mill sitting in place where it is going to stay.
I need to run power to it yet and I am undecided as to which direction I will go. I know the VFD's are nice in many ways but I may get some more three phase machines and do not want to buy more VFD's. The machine has high and low range with a two speed motor. I think it is a four step pulley drive, which gives a pretty good speed range.
I have it leveled up and have been going over things and cleaning it up. It is missing a couple of small knobs but other than that, everything seems good. I have run the X power feed and it functions well as does the two axis DRO.
This is my first mill, so I will probably be asking a lot of questions as time goes on. I was very close to ordering a brand new PM932 but saw this and thought you can't beat having the mass of a machine this size. Hope I made the right choice.
