New Pm25 Setup

[0110-m-p]

Do you have any info about the material/hardness of your leveling pads? I've had my machine about a year and it just sits on the garage floor. Hasn't been a problem, but a base with leveling pads has been on my to-do list for a while now.

I was about to order leveling pads that were like $30 each. Then I saw a link that brav65 (Brooks) had posted and decided to give them a shot. They have worked out well. I don't have any vibration at all. Here's the link:

Hello Fellow PMers,

Got done setting up my new mill. Thought I'd post some pictures. Really like the 25. I had no problems with sand or any kind of grit in machine. Seemed to be well put together and all bolts were tight. After all my years running bigger "than the PM25" it is so nice to have such a quiet machine. I was a tool and die maker and prototype machinist having my own jobbing shop for awhile. I am now retired, but just needed a nice machine for small jobs for mostly my gun related projects. I think this machine is going to be perfect for my needs.

PS Thanks to my fellow PM 25 owners who have posted their machines with their useful ideas.
