NEW PM-833T IN THE SHOP

Thats a pretty sweet machine. Glad you got one you're happy with

I AM ELATED ! THIS IS A HUGE UPGRADE FOR MY SHOP
I HAVE VISIONS OF CHIPS FLYING THROUGH MY HEAD !
 
That sounds kinda gruesome. :eek:

USE YOUR IMAGINATION .
I DREAM ABOUT MAKING STUFF .
 
Looks like a very nice machine. Got my attention!
 
SOME MORE IMPRESSIONS ON THE PM-833T .

THE KEYWAYS IN THE TABLE ARE 5/8" SO IT USES THE SAME SIZE T-NUTS AS A BRIDGEPORT .
THIS IS GREAT EXCEPT NOTHING I HAD FOR MY PM-727M WORKS ON IT .
I HAD TO CRASH & BURN ON THAT ONE . I BOUGHT A NEW TE-CO SET FOR THE 5/8 SLOTS & 1/2" STUDS
SELLING THE OLD STUFF ON E-BAY TO TRY & RECOUP SOME OF THE COST .

I JUST FINISHED MAKING NEW KEYS FOR ALL MY TABLE MOUNT VISES & FIXTURES .
I LIKE THE WIDER SLOTS BUT IT IS A PAIN TO HAVE TO DO THINGS OVER .

SPEAKING OF SLOTS , THEY HAVE RADOR SHARP EDGES ON THE BOTTOM OF THE OPENING !
I CUT MYSELF TRYING TO CLEAN THEM . I REMEDIED THIS WITH A HUGE FILE THAT I RAN THROUGH
THE SLOTS AT AN ANGLE TO FILE OFF THE EDGE . EASY FIX BUT I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM ON A BRIDGEPORT .

I LOVE THE SHIFT LEVERS ON THE SIDE OF THE HEAD ! THEY ARE MUCH EASIER TO SHIFT THAN THE
FRONT MOUNT KNOBS OF THE 727 .

I LIKE THE GEARING BETTER . THE LOWEST SPEED IS MUCH SLOWER THAT THE 727 AND THIS WORKS
BEAUTIFULLY FOR TAPPING . THE SINGLE SWITCH FOR FORWARD-OFF-REVERSE IS LIKE A BRIDGEPORT .
I LIKE THIS ARRANGEMENT BETTER THAN PUSHING BUTTONS .

I still don't see the 833T on Matt's site. How much do they go for?

THEY ARE CURRENTLY SOLD OUT . MATT SAYS THEY WILL BE BACK IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS .
NO POINT IN ADVERTISING WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE ONE TO SELL .

THEY DID SELL A FEW OF THEM ON E-BAY FOR $3,999 . HERE IS A LISTING

Thanks. The mill is pictured on a base, but I assume they sell it separately? I like your set up on a cabinet!

MINE CAM ON A BASE & YES I WOULD LIKE TO SELL IT SEPARATELY .

FROM MY UNDERSTANDING ON THESE MACHINES , THE INITIAL RUN OF THEM LAST YEAR WERE
ALL OUTFITTED WITH THE BASE AND BOTH X & Z POWER FEEDS .

I THINK THE NEXT BATCH WILL NOT COME WITH THOSE ITEMS BUT THEY WILL BE SOLD AS OPTIONS .
ANOTHER OPTION THAT P-M MENTIONED IS A CHIP TRAY TO GO IN BETWEEN THE MILL & CABINET .

THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY HAVE NOT FINALIZED THE PRICING OF THE NEW 833's

Well, X and Z power feeds seem pretty desirable, as would be DRO, but not sure about the cabinet, at least as pictured.

Thanks
