No April Machines

Dude, you didn't get my dander up. Seriously.

Not that you'd know, (and I should have worded my post a bit better) but this has been talked about quite a bit on here and what some don't understand is that Matt cannot do anything about any shipping delays from the factory to him. I thought maybe you were getting upset with Matt and just wanted to say that it isn't his fault.

Wasn't suggesting anything specifically, just trying to dampen the frustration a bit with all the delays. I have two of Matt's machines so I've been through this twice, and didn't like it either time. Sorry for the poor wording on my part.

Shouldn't you be busy buying your fourth mill or lathe by now?

I'm still busy attempting to wire this blink'n VFD to my lathe. I hate electrical...

Thought I'd bring this thread back to the top. Has anyone else received any word on the status of these machines?

Last week Matt replied to my e-mail and his response was: "Looks like about 5 more business days is what I would say, and they go through them all in groups. You will get an email as soon as it is ready, but I know it can be tough to wait! ". From this I my guess is that the machines are in his warehouse and it is just a matter of time until they are inspected, shipping arrangements made etc... but that is just my guess.

I have to admit I have been bothering him about once a week for an update and he has patiently responded each time, even had Nicole call me to let me know my Inbox was full and his messages were bouncing back at one point.

When I think of this mill it does remind me of my childhood days waiting for Christmas!

I got word my 1228VF arrived, and should be shipping in the coming weeks once the remainder of my payment is received.

Just curious what are ya waiting on....?
Btw I have I have a PM25 in the mix and a 10x22 lathe thereafter

I, too, am waiting on the PM25-MV and can't wait to start teaching my step-son how to machine. We're waiting to start on an FFA project to work on over the summer. Hoping it'll come in close to the time he gets out of school in 1-1/2 weeks.

Anyone have an idea when these are supposed to ship ?

From what I've read it takes a while to get the machines through the PM warehouse. Once they arrive they open and inspect each machine, they must pass this inspection before the machine is shipped. Then shipping arraignments must be made for each machine, both of these are time consuming. Combine this with the number of machines that arrive in a shipment and it becomes hard to estimate accurately when a particular machine will ship. I ordered mine early March and as I understand it there are many that ordered their machine prior to me, so I'm fairly far down the list. I am still waiting for that notification that my machine is on the way.

On top of all the inspection and shipping, Matt takes time to answer many, if not all, emails and phone calls. This must take a considerable amount of time out of his day that he is pulled from the tasks of getting the machines shipped to us. I would like to ask more often when my machine will ship but have forced myself to only ask once a week max via email because I don't want to slow down the process by having him give me the same answer several times a week. I know that asking more frequently won't get my machine shipped any faster. Ok I'll get off my box

I called on Friday, my pm-940 is sitting in a container in Cali. it will probably be another 4-6 weeks.
