Threaded holes on back of PM-1022V Bed casting

Remember that Grizzly and most of the other import brands get their castings from the same sources, and the castings are used by different brands in different ways. The holes might be for a milling attachment for a completely different brand that happens to use that same bed casting, or that used it (say) 15 years ago when they first started making it.

No problem. It looked like it got really busy in the work area and i don't think i'd like to have to use it but there are times it'd be nice to lock a piece in the chuck from spinning and then drill through a rod. I know some folks have had decent results with Lathe Mill combo units but i have a hard enough time with setup with separate machines!

Glad you got your questions answered.
