I recently received a new PM-728VT which is a somewhat new offering from Precision Matthews. I knew that no CNC kits existed for it yet, but want to see if any of the PM30 ball screw mounts will align with the PM-728VT. Can anyone out there with a PM30 tell me the dimensions between the hand wheel mount screws? I suspect that Precision Matthews would commonize some generic components like cast hand-wheel mounts to save tooling costs, so the PM30 kit's mount may very well line up. The ball screw lengths won't work due to the larger travels on the PM30, but buying mounts alone from Dave at ArizonaVideo would save a couple weekends of design and machining along with the confidence of a proven design.
These are the dimensions that I need. Also to anyone considering a new small machine, the PM-728VT is excellent. The build quality is exceptional. 100% Taiwainese, and it shows. The dovetails are the best that I've seen on a small import machine.
