From what I was told they are the same base machine, I questioned because the PM-45M was listed as having a .375" larger quill but Matt told me that they are both 3" diameter quills and that it was a typo. He told me that the 932PDF was a loaded up 45M as most people were wanting the power down feed (PDF), power X-axis and the power head (Z) but were not as concerned with the flood cooling or the light so he made the 932PDF model which also included the more rigid cast stand vs. the steel cabinet with the door/storage.
Ray may correct me if I am wrong but that is what I remember and why I went with the 932PDF when I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago.

Yep, PM45 = PM932 with different available options from the factory. The 932 has a little less travel because there are slight casting changes to accommodate the powerfeed connectors.
In time, it's likely the only PM45 will be the CNC version and all the non-CNC versions will be covered by the 932.
