Important to note. I only have access to single phase 120V power in the project shop. Something I don't think I can get changed.

Since my desk at Rexroth is directly next to about 8 different knee mills of various manufacturers (Bridgeport, Jet, ACRA). I can firmly say I cannot fit a knee mill in our shop. (unless the shop engineer says I can get rid of one of the huge bulky wooden tables against the wall of our work area.

This being said we have about 5 knee mills in the main machine shop (I don't know that they all work)...that we just can't access all the time. We would have to have some graduate student mentors who needed access to the machine shop as part of their research so that we could access it at all times. We're working on getting that...we just haven't got it yet.

That PM-MV mill might work as well as the RF-45. I'll have to take some measurements of the space I've been planning this for. I was actually looking into the RF on CNCzone and practical machinist to see what people had to say about it.

I haven't asked LMS yet. I will however move forward with the idea of asking them to though.
