Yes, I understood. But the challenge is no 'easy to reach place' at or above the nick. I will definitely try the splice fix before tearing the machine apart. Hopefully, the worst case scenario will be nothing more than removing the end cap to give me a little room to work.

Thanks, Peter.Have a look at David's mill overclocking project. He did some lube line work. He has other picture/video links too showing disassembly innards, hopefully its linked in there.

PM935 - the Best & Jacobs Full Custom Edition
It’s been almost a year since I received my PM935 mill, and I thought it was finally time post here about the process of upgrading and accessorizing the machine. Some of you may recall that I embarked on a similar project with my PM1340GT lathe a few years back, and documented here. The mill...www.hobby-machinist.com
Wow, thanks for this suggestion. I actually have a pair of these in my tool box but have never used them! My daughter is a pediatrician, and somehow I managed to acquire them from her. They were going to be tossed out, but I figured who knows? Maybe they'll come in handy in the shop someday. And here we are.Terry, maybe before you cut the tube you could grab and clamp it with a hemastat so it doesn’t retract while you prepare to splice it. You can get one cheap at a fishing store.

I don't think you have a very good grasp on the situation. I want this to be a 'successful' operation.Terry, just pretend you are doing open heart surgery on your mother-in-law. If it works out, that's OK, if it doesn't you've always got plan B.
Actually, mine was okay, too. She and my father-in-law raised a fine son and four great daughters - one of which has been my bride for 48 and a half years.View attachment 313199
Actually liked my mother-in-law very much but saw this bumper sticker on the way to work the other day and it gave me a chuckle.
