    info on a King PDM-30 drill mill

    Yes, it has a stand and a small drill press vise. He did say there were a few bits that came with the mill. He wasn't sure exactly what they were. I'll take a look at what he has when I go look at it. As for the taper it depends on what documentation you read. It seems that the age determines if...

    info on a King PDM-30 drill mill

    Could you tell me what taper the spindle is? I looked on the King website and it shows MT3/R8. Since the fellow that owns it has never taken the drill chuck out he couldn't tell me. Were they available with either taper?

    info on a King PDM-30 drill mill

    info on a King PDM-30 drill mill

    He is asking $1200. I spoke with the guy selling it to arrange to go look at it. All he has ever used it for is a drill press so I feel its had a fairly gentle life so far.

    info on a King PDM-30 drill mill

    I'm looking at purchasing a used PDM-30 king mill drill. I'd like to upgrade from my PA mini mill and this is a pretty good price. Any one with one of these that can enlighten me on pros and cons would be appreciated. Opinions on this mill?

    3D molds for metal casting

    I have temporarily given up with trying to print Nylon. I just can't seem to get it to stick to the bed at all. I don't really want to buy another roll of something I won't be able to use. I have had nothing but success with PLA printing so I'm going to stick with that for now. Due to the fact...

    Let me know when you do try it. I'm curious how it will work. I wonder if it will print differently than PLA

    Shop made chamfer insert tool

    That looks like a dandy tool. I have some inserts I purchased that were incorrect for one of my tools. i think I might have a go at making a holder for them. What steel did you use for the holder? (sorry, I should have read through the comments first) Could a person use a HSS tool blank?

    Printing with nylon filament

    Yes. I can turn all the cooling fans off with Cura. I did find some "phenolic paper" on mcMaster Carr website for under $10. I'm going to try source some locally and try it
