As several of you have been very helpful and patient with my questions I have now come to some realization that you really do get what you pay for quality wise.
I have been looking at the PM 25 mill and the Weiss 25 mill. I thought both were the same, not so. The PM25 has a wider base so more stable, head support column attachment is different to. Then I have been watching a U tube video on the Weiss 25. the man that made the video seems to be a very talented builder-machinist. so if you go to YouTube and type in Weiss 25 mill and scroll through them you get an eye opening. His video is a year old. I think 6 sets on his work. Custom table and mill modification. But the point I picked up on is that His brand new mill was way out of wack, forget scrapping the ways. He used a tool post grinder as a surface grinder to take of up to .05 in some areas . Has anyone else had fit issues like this with the Weiss 25 or was his built late on a Friday? Makes me wonder. If I'm going to plunk down $2,500 for a new machine I would hope that it had been through some kind of QC inspection in house before being crated up to ship. Or, am I expecting too much? From all the reading I have been doing his machine issues seem off base as I have not seen anything else like this. I know PM25 parts were out of stock at times but they get them and take care of their customers.
