Pm1236 On Order

[1cjk]

This has been one of those "Christmas came late but worth the wait" kinda times. I bought a PM932 about a year ago from Matt. I was watching some You Tube videos a couple weeks ago that some folks (Mike aka Zmotorsports and some others I can't remember right now) posted of there PM935's and started to get the itch for a larger machine. Well several days ago I saw this Enco mill popup on Craigslist in my area. These kind of machines don't show up here in my area for sale very often or never. You can read the details about that here http://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/enco-mill-100-1527-price-check.42341/ and http://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/new-to-me-enco-9x49-model-100-1599.42618/. So I talked my self out of a larger mill because I still really needed a lathe. I had been looking for some time and knew I wanted the PM1236. I emailed Matt to ask about the availability of the PM1236. This morning I called him and got a PM1236 on order( I see your a member on here Matt and just want to thank you again). About an
hour later I get this text with about that Enco mill. So it has been an exciting day and cant wait to get these things up and running

It's here! I have had it about a month and I'm so happy I went with this size. You can't really see it all that good in the picture but I added a base that gives 47.5" from the floor to the center of the spindle. I am 6.1 and the height is perfect for me. No bending over. I added a poor mans DRO on the tail stock and tool bit rack to the back splash. My first project on it was making an new four way port for the oiler on my mill. I broke it while getting it set up. Anyway really happy with the PM1236.
