Thanks Guys . Update worked on Collets and fit ect... smoothe as butter now you can slide collet up in spindle with 2 fingers and tighten draw bar with thumb and index finger . than precede to torque nut. Works like its supposed to .,.a little TLC needed to get there.
On to next issue my start capacitor for motor crapped out Matt sent a new oneout right away as soon as we verified that was issue . All is well should be up and running soon.
In near future i will be getting a DRO for at least 2 axes maybe add the z > however that does not give me a quill stop that can be set to a desired increment . What im looking to do is 3 fold ill explain as i modiphy figure out the machines limitations with power feed quill and z axis stop. I think the new Dro's are 2 months out so for now ill use indicator and make a temp DRO than decide from there if im going with 3rd axis DRO or not .
little mill/ shop update :
All in all with a few adjustments will have a functional shop in garage. Because of powered feed and total X travel on Mill had to move the fridge over yet another 5 inches . Just enough room behind door for some storage and too be able to open garage door. No worries still have the beer bait fridge. ;)
here is Pic of Mill in its new place standing tall . Nice machine I am glad I opted on The PM932 PDF w/ 220V 1..5 HP mill . I know once I work out a few bugs she will serve me well . Thanks again for all your help and support . Still have not a clue what my hobby may be but I do know my Next project. Making new Gib locks for all axes and perhaps working out a quill depth gauge for the PDF Model.
