PM-30MV Main Features

Special Features that set this mill apart from others (BE SURE TO COMPARE THESE DIFFERENCES):
  • MUCH Larger Travels and work area
  • Quill DRO Included Standard (This is for the spindle up/down movement)
  • 3 Bolt Head Mount is now standard (where the head mounts to the Z Axis), for more rigidity when milling - Much improved over the single bolt mount type
  • Main Z Axis Column is attached to the base with 4 bolts, and mounted from the top, with a wide, proper mounting surface for much more rigidity over other models in this size range
  • 0.001" Readings with larger dials on the X and Y axis, with true 10 Thread Per Inch Leadscrews make it easier to cut accurately - (One line on the dial is 0.001", one full turn of the handwheel is 0.100", much easier to use than those with odd metric conversions)
  • 50-3000 RPM variable speed with the turn of a knob, properly set up with Low and High for a wider speed range, and plenty of power at lower speeds
  • Precision ground ways for smoother movements - Not just rough milled
  • Thrust Bearings in leadscrew ends - not bushings - Much smoother movements and less backlash
  • Split nuts on X and Y Axis to allow for backlash adjustment
  • DC BRUSHLESS MOTOR, Variable Speed, POWERFUL, SMOOTH, and RELIABLE Belt Drive from Motor to Spindle runs MUCH quieter than others, and eliminates any failure prone plastic gears (And the hassle of changing them when stripped)
  • 3 Year Warranty, for added peace of mind

Optional DRO is now our PM LCD DRO as shown here:

Machine ships LTL Truck Freight at a flat rate of $249 in the 48 States. Shipments to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, or internationally need to be quoted by our Sales Team.

PM-30MV Mill Crate is 29.5" Wide x 39" Long x 45" High and ships on a 44"x34" pallet. Crate is 50" Tall on the pallet, and if ordered with a stand, add 16" to the shipping height, total of 66". (Stand is strapped to the top of the main crate when shipped, if ordered with the stand)

Flat Rate Shipping

Standard Flat Rate LTL Freight Shipping services involve a 28′-48′ tractor trailer pulling up in front of your driveway and unloading your order at the curb. This is the extent of our flat rate shipping services. Carriers will NOT back their truck up your driveway, drive their truck down a dead end street, or use their liftgate to offload your machine into the bed of your pickup or trailer. Unless you have a loading dock, forklift, material handler, or other heavy equipment with forks, you will need to add Liftgate Service for $79.

Liftgate Service (Optional)

Liftgate Delivery service will get the machine from the back of the carriers truck down to the ground and up to 25' from that offloading point, provided those 25' are paved, level, and manageable by a single person with an unpowered pallet jack. If your shop/garage threshold is more than 25' from the curb end of your driveway and you don't have your own pallet jack, you will need to add Inside Delivery Service.

You MUST have a plan for how to get your machine from the curb to your shop. If you need additional delivery services, like Inside Delivery, box truck, or flatbed with forklift delivery (available in select locations), please contact us prior to your order being shipped to allow us to arrange and charge shipping accordingly. Some, but not all carriers and locations have 26′ box trucks available, but that is not guaranteed and your delivery plan should not depend on getting a box truck.

Inside Delivery Service (Optional)

The Inside Delivery option will, in appropriate situations, cause the driver to take your freight from the offloading point at the liftgate and move it into your shop or garage, as long as the route between those two points is relatively level, paved, and manageable using a standard pallet jack. This is for flat, paved driveways that are over ~30' from the curb to the threshold of your shop/garage.

Delivery Appointment

If you need the freight carrier to call you to schedule a delivery appointment after the machine arrives at their final terminal, but before attempting delivery of your machine, you will need to request a Delivery Appointment. This is most useful if/when you need to rent a forklift or take off work. This will add 1 day to your shipping time. Scheduling a Delivery Appointment more than 2 days from the date the freight arrives at your local terminal may incur daily storages charges that the customer will be responsible for.
