Setting up PM727
#6
The mill arrived in the same style of crate as did Ed's and thankfully upright like his....LOL Before buying learned the stand was low and not real stable. 

That in mind I parked the mill in a corner and went to work on the stand. Bought some 1/8 angle, had stem casters and levelers.  First made the mounts for the levelers, drilled and capted and welded the ends. Then turned to the the stand and framed the base with some angle. Once fitted welded it together.

 Looking over the build and playing with the casters, I found the post or stem mounts.  Were not going to work, needs plate mount. In picture 2 you can see that the post mount was going to shorten the foot print and make the stand tippy ... not good Bash
