New PM25!

[orphan auto]

I'm considering it...

I've got some money saved up, and I'm currently stuck between buying a mill, or buying a 2-post auto lift. I've wanted to have a lift forever, but on the other hand, I've been wanting a mill for a long time too. The mill could potentially make me some money though, so I don't know. I'm torn...

Lift then mill, that way you'll know what the vehicle needs, then you can make the parts needed. I love my lift!

Well I am officially a PM-25mv assembly specialist now. I set out to tram the head...
Proceeded to tighten the nut on the bolt that was inserted from behind the whole mechanism and turned it a couple of quarter turns and noticed I was not making any progress. I took off the nut and the bolt was stripped severely.

Thanks,
Jeff

Just found mine to be stripped too. I'm more than a little angry over it. Had just gotten my new PM25MV dialed in. Now I have to pull the head off to replace this crappy bolt. Grrrrrrrr

Mine was stripped as well, The bolt is the same one provided in the tool kit as a hold down. I discovered this after I fabricated my own bolt by welding a washer on to a hex head bolt and grinding/filing it to the correct profile. Now my RPM readout is not working. I have to pull the drive pulley off, but it is not coming off after loosening the set screw. I may upgrade my bearings while I have it apart as they are not expensive and given the amount of gunk down inside the spindle they are probably not going to last that long. Any advice on removing the drive pulley and disassembling the spindle would be appreciated.

Bought some stainless and did the three bolt mod while I had the head off. Really like the results. Mill head is a ton more solid.
