    Re: Precision Matthews PM-728VT Mill for CNC ?

    You're looking in the wrong section, mate. The 940 isn't a knee mill.

    I doubt you'll hear too much on a newly released mill. PM25 conversions are less common than G0704 conversions, despite being relatively similar. That said, with some research it shouldn't be too hard.

    CL_MotoTech:

    You are right, I missed that mill completely. It's big for a bench mill and looks very capable. Thanks for pointing me to it.

    I agree. I think the 728VT has only been out for a few months so I'm not surprised no-one is yet doing a conversion. Worth asking though. I'm sure a conversion wouldn't be too daunting, but more work than a G0702 or PM-25 where plans and kits are available. The question, is it worth the extra trouble and cost. The 728VT cost nearly as much as the 940M.

    I'd be real happy if I just found an owner who could comment on overall quality. Or even the quality of PM's Taiwanese machines compared to their Chinese ones. It's quite a premium in cost if there isn't much difference in quality.

    Thanks again.
