Pm 727m issues, help please!

Yea the shims is worse than none at all. Check out this
I did this to my PM 932 m PDF to fix the nod of about .006. I then put a new hand scraped gib in so i had no change in tram with the camp tight or not. I have vowed to never buy an other chines column mill again. I have 2 and both was horrible for tram. After hours upon hours of scraping dovetails and gibs i now have a cnc conversion and a manual mill that I can do some repeatable and accurate machine work with. I am looking for a nice old BP for real mill work.then I’m selling the PRC junk and doing some fun milling Work. You should do the same Look for a Clausing mill on Craigs list if you don’t have room for a BP.

I set it up to start milling, i have 2 jobs to do that cant wait no longer. The mill will stay shimmed until i am done. Then ill prob take the shims out and after that i dont know, cant sell it yet though. I though square column mills were suppose to be so much better than round column mills? I guess each has its own set of headaches.
