    I notice you place mats over your hoist. I'm presuming its to keep crud from getting in there. Probably a pain to clean out.

    Adding a VFD to a PDM-30 mill

    Machine PDM30 table nut stripped

    I had purchased the nut from King with the thoughts I had screwed it up ($168). They are sending me a new lead screw and I may be getting reimbursed for the nut. They have been very good to deal with so far.
