And yes the T-S is Taiwan, Step Pulley. No that larger mills are not from Taiwan, but with these, a lot of people compare to the Jet 836 mill. This mill is WAAAAYYYY Better.
Jet is China, this one is Taiwan. Jet costs more. No spindle down feed on the Jet, the PM has a full featured mill head, with spindle feed, just like a Bridgeport.
The PM Head tilts left to right, AND front to back. The Jet does not.
The Jet has an "Industry Leading" 2 year warranty. The PM Taiwan machines now have a 5 year warranty.
Jet has a better web site, I will give them that.
The PM is cheaper. (Unfortunately have to go up a bit soon here the factory raised the price, but still a good bit less than the Jet)
There is nothing even close to this PM-935TS/V Mill out there that I know of, in the USA.
