Hey guys I'm trying to gather as much info as I can about making a mill purchase and have narrowed down the selection to either a PM-25 or -30. I know the rule about getting the biggest and heaviest you can afford, and while this makes perfect sense, its the size part that has me hung up.
First I'm looking for some dimensional help on both machines. I intended on putting the machine on my benchtop so first I would like to know how high the top of table is from the bottom of the machine so I can see if its feasible.
Also, and this would be as much if not more helpful... Does anyone have both machines where they can take a picture to gauge the scale of these machines in comparison? All of the photos/videos I see online are very misleading and...in some the -25 looks a decent size (I know that's subjective) and in others it looks tiny, when it comes to the -30 its easier to find picts of bigfoot riding a unicorn, granted there are a few but the sense of scale is off with limited references in the frame.
Don't laugh, but Ive resorted to setting push pins into the wall in front of me to try and get a sense of scale...its helps but some real photos of BOTH machines where you can judge scale would be sooo helpful!!
I appreciate any help
Chris
