New model we have been working on, a high end, smaller mill, built in Taiwan. Its been about 2 years working on this, but its finally getting there, expected to have them ready mid fall this year. I do not have all of the exact details typed up on it just yet, as I do, we will get it on the web site. Its going to be sized between our PM-25MV (but more travel in the Y and Z) and PM-30MV, Higher spindle speed, (around 4000-4500 RPM), triple bearing balanced spindle with angular contact bearings, super high quality little machine. Pricing just under $3000 so still affordable but excellent for the people who want to spend a little more for the highest precision available.

Some pictures of the machine being made included below, I think many of you will be interested to see how its done. No one out there has anything that will even come close to what this machine is as far as quality.

And finally some pics of approximately what it will look like when its ready. Some changes still happening from this machine, but pretty close overall to what it will be.

I've been wondering when you were going to announce that Matt. Well done!

I love the spindle speed range. And a one-shot oiling system. Cool!

I could see one of these in the shop for working on small stuff. :)
 
Please suggest they use a body filler that actually dries hard and doens't flake off like chalk, and offer an option for upgraded paint/epoxy application. Every machine I get from China or Taiwan has total crap for paint, and the body filler they use to smooth casting is like chalk and is easily damaged. Happy to pay extra as an option for something that doesn't require disassembly, stripping and body work to achieve a durable lasting finish.
 
Yes there is not much filler on these, some, but not a lot compared to most. I wish it was possible to do them without any at all, but its just not, there are always some spots somewhere in a casting that would not look right when painted. The paint on these is a better paint than the other smaller models we have, we did go over that.
