Pm Machines Arrived

[tmarks11]

I did not have the time for a full blown stand for the 935

Unless you think you need a mobile (tippy) 1500# machine, can you just get the additional height (if desired) from some machinery leveling mounts?

Tim,
The mill is sitting on 4"w x 2"h x 36"l steel rectanguler tube that is 1/4" thick anchored with 5/8 inch all thread. there are four level feet about 2.5"- 2.75" in diameter at each end of the steel that are adjustable.

I have not had it move on me yet, feels pretty solid. I am vertically challanged as it, the two inches of steel plus leveling feet puts the mill at about 5.5" higher more or less. you would have to enlarge the picture to see them (feet).

JDS,
What is the hanging on the tailstock that looks like a thermostat?

Markknx,
Good eye, it is a thermostat. I just put that shelf up, above the lathe and I just hung it there to get it out of the way. It is for my heater in the winter.

Nice choice of machines... if I dare say so myself....
