In this video I show off my brand new round column milling machine, a King PDM-30 to replace an identical one from 30 years ago. Surprisingly, there are quite a few new features and upgrades.

I know some people have criticisms for the round column RF series mills, but I would still have mine if I had room in my old shop for both it and my new-to-me one I have now. You've also added some cool stuff mine didn't have, should be fun to run.

Looks just like my Grizzly G1006/G1007. Adding a DRO to the Quill was very simple just by removing that scale cover and simple brackets and you're good to go there.

Hey Gille, I have that same tilting wise. Have you done any mods or truing on it. That would make for a great video. Cheers!

Now that you have had it for a bit, are you still happy with it? Just picked one up and would like to add CNC ability also but am seeing a lot of people suggest the other style is superior even though not as powerful.

I’m a hobbyist and I like to build my own stuff. I was in the process to buy a milling machine for my workshop. After scrolling for many days, the Internet for machine that are available for me in Quebec. I finally decide to order PDM 30 from Ken Canada. After seeing your video about some issues on this machine, I plan to look into it soon I receive my machine. No I will be in a process to purchase a good vice, R8 to ER32 collet chuck and other tool. Do you have any recommendation? And by the way, nice video nice work.

And the King Website doesn't list a price... This isn't one of those "If you have to ask, you can't afford it" things, is it?
