Like all my machines, this is missing a manual
I have talked to sellers in Europe but they just want to sell the machine
Is there anyone who knows of any machine forum in Germany?

On a planer mill the bed would move, on a HBM the bed would also move. I guess the difference would be that the planer mill bed moves the work all the way under the milling head, whereas on the HBM the work and bed stays on one side of the vertical uprights. The HBM spindle is always horizontal, and I would guess that the planer mill spindle could work pointing horizontal, vertical, or in between(???)
