Thank you for the video, I am looking in to getting one as well. Want to ask you, what is the distanced from spindle to the table with knee all the way down and all the way up, trying to visualize how big of work piece can be fitted on the machine.
There’s a lot of backlash in the handles the column works great though. Actually wanna make another video of the pros and cons of the machine and the add-ons that I’ve done digital read out and power feed I’ve added recently.
Do you think this is capable of doing small engine cylinder heads? Looking for ways to do 2 stroke cylinders and stuff with a small shop set up in the next few years. If this can mill .30 off the head of a blaster head to increase squish is what I'm looking to do.
I’m shopping around for a mill now. Considering this one or a precision Matthews PM 25 MV. Curious why you went with this mill rather than one of the column bench top mills with variable speeds?
Adam Sheffield I went with this mostly because of the price and I had a 35% coupon at the time. The one thing I like about the 9speed mill is the up and down table. I really just wanted OK milling machine so I could teach myself how to mill. And it really depends on what you’re using it for. I use it for small square up jobs for where I work.
JETHO321 floor to table 4 foot and floor to top is 71” it does not come with a stand and the one I made is to tall if you do get one make the stand 18” to 15” tall
Raven4122 I don’t think you can just put it right on to the harbor freight machine. I think you would have to figure out how to mount it and it probably be more of a pain in the ass then just buy one from a little machine shop.com so they probably have the right motor to go on there and power feed.
I don't know why you would say its good for small jobs implying "soft" steels .... that mill will cut high carbon steel all day long with ease ! saying stuff like that could shy someone away from buying one cause they would now think its not good to cut hard steel and only soft metals. how many times has some one pissed you off cause they was acting like a know it all but didn't know shit ?

The base that the machine is setting on, whats it made of?
Come on man, rotate your camera 90°.
Seems like portrait view is the thing these days, drives me nuts.
Have you been satisfied with the accuracy of the table and feeds?

@@jagofff8385 I would love to see that video of the upgrades. Please post it.
Camera motion and movement makes it very hard to watch.

So are you just machining the surface or you trying to size the cylinder bore?

What is max spindle to table distance ???
Does it real only have 2.3/4 spindle travel ?
someone tell me the height of this machine
Donald Broussard 46” inches
Acabe mareado por el video.
Could you tell me how tall from the floor to table and from floor to top of the mill?
JETHO321 floor to table 4 foot and floor to top is 71” it does not come with a stand and the one I made is to tall if you do get one make the stand 18” to 15” tall
@@jagofff8385 Much appreciated my friend.
JETHO321 no problem any other questions just ask
@@originalmicdrop I have about 4 foot from the back to the front of the machine. It will depend on your stand as well.
will the bridgeport Power feed work on this?

Does it auto feed on the x?
No it doesn’t you would have to buy that separately. I’m going to buy a motor and a digital readout soon.
What's the table size?
Marcos Fredrickson 29 1/4” x 6 1/8”

Steve Lamperta for one I never said it won’t cut hard steels. I cut T15 M42 A2 and S7 on the mill. And what I mean by small jobs is small in size.
