I am so glad I found you guys this morning. I have been watching you tube videos for the past 6 months trying to decide on which mill to purchase. The general advice that I have been given is buy as large as I can afford. I have also been told that regardless if I purchase a new one (import) or a used one there will be things that I will need to adjust or correct. However, at least with a new mill, parts will be easier to find. As of last week I was down to two, the Grizzly G0755 & G0731. However; it was recently suggested that I consider the PM-940V mill. Wow, it does look good to me and there are quite a few videos of them being converted to CNC capabilities which is what I would want to do - so there are footsteps I can follow and hopefully some of you will be willing to coach me along the way.
My primary hobby is experimental rocketry. I am needing to machine aluminum parts as well as I would like to be able to machine composite parts from composite plates that I make.
If anyone has any advice on the mill PM-940V or might have another suggestion, please share it with me. I know that it has been done before but I will post pictures and a video of the build. I will continue going through the you tube videos as well as this forum (a lot of info to sort through) for upgrades that I should consider when I have the mill apart.
I plan to call Precision Mathews this month and get it ordered.
Thanks again and I am excited I found you! There is a huge amount of knowledge on your forum which I recognize the value as well as the time that has been put into it.
