My PM-835S arrived today

Ok, I got the manual fine feed figured out. Still trying to figure out why selecting the automatic feed rate speed is sometimes easy, and sometimes you can't the lever.

I installed my power draw bar this afternoon, works great.

You are engaging gear teeth. If they aren't lined up they won't mesh. Sometimes you gotta fiddle.

I got the power drawbar on, sucks I had to drill mounting bolts on the head.


Today, I'm installing the quill DRO

This is what it looks like today.


I just got done putting in the power drawbar, quill DRO and added a worklight. I'll probably add another one on the right side. I also trammed the X and Y, as well as the vise. Adjusted the gibs some more, too.

I had to modify the quill DRO to fit my mill. I had to drill a few holes on the mill itself, but it's worth it.

Wow, that looks fantastic!

Now I just need to wait until March when PM will have the 3 phase motors available so I can purchase one and put a VFD on it.

I need way covers. Thinking of buying those cheap paper accordion window blinds at Home Depot or 5 bucks.
