I keep going back and looking at the PM45M mill and was wondering if any one know of a good review of one. Thanks in advance. :)
 
I don't know of a formal one, but the PM45 and PM32 are basically the same machine, so threads about them are applicable as well. Unless you are referring to the cnc machine. I have not seen him on the forum for some time, but darkzero has one as well as others here. Maybe they will chime in.
 
If I was getting that class of mill, the PM 940 would be my #1 choice. I believe there is a CNC 940 available if you talk to Matt.

That being said, the machines are good. The paint will chip. My friend has the 932 with QMT-installed DRO and likes it.

What is your budget? If you can swing the budget and space for a PM 935, consider it.
 
Thank you. I was just looking at the 940. The little bit heavier capacity would be nice. :)

And the additional Y axis travel on the 940 vs. the 945/932 is worth mentioning. Can never have too much Y axis travel. :)

When I was wanting a larger bench mill than my PM25, I was 'seriously' looking at the 932 but balked at the Y-axis travel. If the 940 had been available at that time, I would have jumped all over it. :)
 
Yep, the Y travel on the 940, is why I purchased it, i've been pondering adapting a power feed to it after the wedding, because all that cranking gets laborious! :D
