Hi Baron
I thought from previous posts you had the Optimum, but in post 10 you said it was a copy. Which brand did you get?
Cheers

Hi Guys,
There are an awful lot of machines that are basically copies of the Optimum / Wiess / PM machines. I have a Chinese copy of an Optimum BF20L

The hunt for a mill is over. I just got home with a used PM-25MV that I found on Facebook. It was only 30 miles away. Was not what I would have bought if I had ordered one, but could not pass on the deal ($1675.00). It has DOR, the base cabinet, a set of R8 collets, a clamping set, a 4 inch vise, and some endmills. I am going to set it up in my garage right now, have some projects I want to do. Will move it to the basement before winter. Thanks to everybody for all the information.

Hi Mec9900, Guys,
That PM machine is a Chinese copy of the Optimum mill, virtually the same as mine. You should get some good use out of it.Best Regards:
