I have had my PM-45 mill for about 3 years now and it has been great. I now have two problems that I hope someone can help me with.
1. I have trammed my mill about 3 or 4 times with great success but this time around is not that good. What I noticed was that when I loosen the three bolts the head will nod about 15 to 20 thou. ( did not notice this before) so when I get the nod trammed and then tram the side to side the nod is out and vice versa. Is there something that I am missing.
2. My mill started leaking around the spindle a few months back and I replace the seals (as per the thread that Ray C did) and that stopped it for a while and now it has really started to leak (about a drop a minute). What else could cause a leak like that.
Thanks,
Woodrow
