I posted this in another area here and had have no replies. Then found this section, so I thoight I would repost here.....

Another newbie here. I'll try to keep this as short as possible. After a ton of research I have finally decided to purchase the PM-727v. I have a small shop with a low ceiling and this is about as big a mill that I can fit. My question for you that own one of these is how tall is this machine from the bottom of the base to the top of the head with the head at full x axis travel? I am fabricating a table now and would like to have it be as tall as possible. I have only 86" floor to ceiling. The spec sheet for the mill says that it is 72" tall on the stand and also states the stand is 27.625" tall. But spec for the stand says that the stand is 30" tall.....hmm. Anyway, any help is appreciated. I'll be calling PM to order as soon as the holiday bonus comes, but want to get started on the bench.

Thanks in advance....

Sorry, but I don't have any idea. Have you tried calling Matt?
 
I'm sure if you call PM and ask you can get the answer you need.
 
I have the same situation, I have pm727v and custom stand and low ceiling height situation. went though the same as you when ordering mine. im set up now but still haven't used it. I will take some pics and measurement for you this weekend.
 
this is all I have for pics on hand, will raise and measure tomorrow.

If you building the stand make it any height you want or need. The length and width plus stability is what I'd figure out. I bought a HF drill mill and built my stand to suit my needs being in a wheelchair. And I put it on casters with outriggers to level and stability. I figure be twice as safe as a tin can base. I welded box channel and angle iron , my table height on the stand will be 32" , just right for sitting and milling.
Congratulations on your new mill and welcome to the site , no wrong questions on here . Snobs we don't want or need. We here try to help on and off here.
 
I believe what he is asking is how tall can he get his stand to be before the head touches the roof when you raise the z axis. I would like my stand/bed height to be a couple inches higher but can.t or I will loose full head travel.
 
o.k. I went out and measured. goes like this. the machine itself from base to full raised head is 47 inches. I am on a 28 inch tall stand puts me at 75 inches full raised. I have 76 inches to the top of my roof that its under. the stand itself is 28"x30". hope this helps,. sounds like you have ample height to work with.
 
sorry, don,t know why my pics are being cut in half.
