Pm25mv Tramming Aids

[Dman1114]

i was wondering if anyone had some pictures of what they cam up with for tramming aids for the head.

The right ride wont be an issue, but on the other side it seems kinda tight and the control box maybe in the way.....

anyone have any advice...

Thinking bout maybe putting the control box out on a mount arm so there is more room???

I did a mod that is on the G0704.com website. From a gal machinechick. I will find the link for you.

ok I can't find her post. I will get a picture of mine. I have the G0704 but it is the same machine.

That is a great Idea. Why couldn't I have thought of that. (Banging head against wall)

I did find them ..... now that leads me to why i was asking for a pic of the left side....

Here is what mine looks like.

Im gonna pull it apart and C what needs extending in order to put out on an arm or relocate it so i have more room

On mine, I'll be able to drill and tap the block with the dovetails in it, mount the adjustment and use a screw with a hex head to adjust the tramming. I'm starting to cast about looking for some small steel.

Oh. that heat sink is removable. Take out the four screws, unplug the wires and your good to go, all but run the machine.

Now i just gotta make the Tramming aids......

Very nice! Tramming aids were one of the first things I did to my PM25. Of course I've never had use for them after the original tram, but hey, you never know.

Those tramming aids are easy to make and easy to use. I've got them on my PM25. I did not bother with the lock nut on the adjustment screw Tension is maintained by the screw on the opposite side (kind of like centering on a 4 jaw).
