Ideal Space Dimensions for PM728v-t?

[sunrise305]

Can anyone tell me how much width one needs for a PM728v-t with the x-axis powerfeed installed? I have max 72". Thanks!

From the manual here:

Width, full left-right travel of table: 62 in.
Depth, Y-axis handle tip to back of chip
pan: 30 in.

So you should be fine.

Thanks John. That's very helpful. I assume I also need to add the length of the x-axis powerfeed to that 62 inches.

Yep, by you still should be fine. I’d give PM a call to verify though.

Don't forget to add a couple inches to leave room for your hands to turn the cranks without hitting stuff. I know a guy who failed to think about this and had to move the mill over a couple of inches... Jamming your hand between a table crank and a surface mounted electrical outlet hurts, no names to protect the guilty.
