If you're right handed open with the left, if you're left handed open with right. Use the dominant hand to grab what you need out of the cabinet. And instead of having 2 power leads(12v & 120v) you should put a steel 2 gang receptacle box on it and power it that way. And it will give 2 extra outlets. Can never have too many outlets as long as nothings overloaded. And if you really want I bet if you look at the schematics for the mill there's 12 volt power you might be able to tap into for the leds in the cabinet.
Thank you to PM for spreading the word through various makers. You’re just down the road from me, so you will be my destination when my shop space is finished this summer.
Adam just became "The Funk" in the first 7 minutes of the build 😂 Adam you are a treasure to us all. You've been inspiring me for 20 years. I love seeing you now as both the Cerebral Engineer and the Manic Artist.
Yaaaaaah! Adam dancing in the shop! I admire your lack of inhibition! I to, dance in my shop on occasion. When no one's around. At all. To see me. It's nice to celebrate the minor milestones and confirm the joy involved of making!
GIVE JOSH A BIG RAISE! The 'Stock Music Funk' was A CLASS. The Step-Drill Fly-Thru was TOP TIER... but the KANEDAAA synced perfectly to my voice was ..... I had to stop the video and leave the room I was laughing SO HARD.
My God man! I'm old enough to get your jokes and young enough to share the same dance moves! Long time fan, love to see you just tinkering in your element. Love ya Adam!
I had a new set of BA taps and dies arrive the other day, and I have to say the smell of the preserving oil they had been wrapped in was just wonderful, nothing better than the oil smell of new tools.
Hello Mr. Savage just watching you grove to the music made me smile and flash back to many of the jobs I had where we could have music playing. It always seemed to make the work day better now matter how hard the job was. Thank you for being a cool person. Your long time viewer and faithful watcher David Swartz from Suwannee Florida.
I have a Grizzly G0758, same size machine. It has been useful a few times. I started machining over 20 years ago and fell in love with the process. Enjoy your new machine @Adam Savage.
The one thing that puts this bench mill head and shoulders above the other import mills in this class is the fact it's made in Taiwan. Hand scraped and fitted ways coupled with a lot more mass in the castings make for a much more rigid and smoother running machine than their Chinese counterparts. The other thing I would add is the X axis power feed that Precision Matthews sells for this model mill. Congrats on the new machine Adam!
I've had this exact machine for about a year. It is very nice. Precision Mathews is a great company. Mine came with the x-axis power drive. There is a company that makes accessories for these mills (Priest Tools) and their Z axis power drive is terrific.
Man I would love one of those mills. Now that I have all my gear at stage one, I can start working on upgrading those pieces that need it. Precision Matthews is definitely my stage two target brand. Between Blondihacks and now Adam Savage, you have a very strong endorsement in my eyes.
Hey Adam, just a quick tip! I strongly recommend not wiping metal shavings away from drilling through sheet metal with your hand. I did the same years ago and didn't notice one shaving was still attached. Hospital trips / tendon repair surgery aren't fun. :/
Most regular viewers just... Aren't phased by that any more. He prioritizes his flow state over any reasonable amount of safety precautions, for better or worse
Adam, as someone of a similar age vintage :), I recommend getting a few old beat up couch cushions that you use for putting on the floor to kneel on. I have found that makes it much more pleasant to work while kneeling on the floor, etc.
love the spongy wobble floor of this plywood assembly, exactly what a machine shop or any work shop needs the most...one step in any direction and the swell propagates to every surface, just perfection 😉🤔😩😖😂🤣
I don't know what the depiction would be, but "tightening one screw before the rest are in place and having to take it all apart" should be one of the next demerit badges
I have no suggestions lol...your awesome im just learning..you know your show is kid safe and they tell me the stuff they learned from your videos..thank you kind sir..
I would suggest Adam not put any tooling below the water line. As he uses the machine all manner of what have you is going to fly off and land on whatever's there.
It's a great machine! I am very pleased to own one. Two tips: The distance to beep on the DRO can be turned off. The puddle of oil in the chip pan is because the outlet of the oneshot oiler is higher than the Y-axis oiling points.
I know nothing about machining, but since I started watching Adams videos I have been saying "Man, I need a lathe!".... "Aw man, I need a milling machine!".... "Look at all those bits and collets... I need all those!".... I would have no idea what to do with them, but damn I want them all! 🤣
I repurposed a bathroom sink cabinet. I lined it with Glasliner a shiny white beaded plastic sheet. I put a battery powered motion light on the back wall. It is like a 100 watt light is in there. The shinny surface reflects the light very well.
I've owned a few of these small mills. I actually really like them. It's much easier to "throw around" when you're machining small parts. 9 times out of 10 I would pick the small mill over the big mill, if I don't need the rigidity or table space. ...BUT! Those sheet metal stands are generally awwwwwffuuullll. They are not rigid. They rattle, twist and dance around which is terrible for the workpiece. Pour a concrete base and ditch the stand and that little mill will be a completely different machine. That metal base does look more sturdy than the ones I've dealt with previously though. You might have better luck.
It would be a dream machine to get a PM mill. I don't know that I will ever afford one when I can't even afford a cheaper harbor freight mill. Great video!
I wonder how are the curvatures of Adam's shop floor. Like how deep does it looks, all the scratches and holes it bears if everything in the shop became invisible suddenly because it's feels like it's like a story book of adam's journey
Because the right hand does so much work on a vertical milling machine, I mount the collets and DRO on the left side of the machine. This setup works well for me.
So is that the same machine that Blondihacks now has? I know she got a larger PM mill recently, and 728 sounds familiar. If you don't already watch her, I recommend it heavily, she had really nice intro videos, and she also builds some amazing projects on bench top machines.
Hi there. Greeting from South Africa. Watch your channel all the time. My garage (shop)resembles yours but a lot smaller. Organized chaos. Love it. I'm surprised you didn't opt for using a grinder with a thin metal cutting disk in place of the jig saw. I find it's way more controllable and cuts very straight of course. 😊
Gotta say, he started saying "was talking about small mill" and thought "it's PM isn't it", and lo and behold - I burst out laughing at that. PM knows _exactly_ a target demographic they want their machines in front of, and they can put them in front of very much that demographic for the very reasonable cost of a few machines to youtubers. Nicely done, they do look like quite nice machines, and if I didn't have the space to be looking at getting a knee mill first it'd be certainly be working on me.
Thought about putting a precision compound table on my knee mill that could easily be cnc,d, for 90% of jobs you could still control the Z manually I think and obtain good precision
One way to get rid of the wavyness of the false floor easily is to take some threaded rods, make some threaded plates (with at least 6 screws in them), screw the threaded plates in the floor, securely, then through a hole previously drilled in the floor pass the threaded rod. Around heavy equipment, this will transfer the weight of the items which otherwise makes the floor feel like a water bed, and make it more stable. Two or three of them near a heavy item will dramatically change the way it feels, and also secure things, because ultimately, there's a limit to what wood can do... and that weight is gonna make it all play until it snaps. Just my 2 cents.
12:43 ... PLEASE think of and choose rivets in from the front, *_through_* the acrylic, through a washer, THEN squeeze the rivet.. So it bites the washer and only applies surface compression to the acrylic, no expansive/tensile forces in the holes in acrylic (it'll most assuredly crack if riveted directly into acrylic.. let it bite a washer)
I've had a variable speed head Bridgeport in my shop for 10 years now. For the small stuff I do a PM-728 would suit me better & free up more floorspace.
I had the same issue with my spindle on my PM25 I got a few months ago. The taper was also cut too deep so if you were using a keyless chuck it would bottom out against the spindle and lock the chuck. Had to put a new spindle in it.
Nice soldering station, Inspired to have iron, hot air gun,solder, heatshrink, cutters and stripper dedicated to a single portable unit, maybe more helping hands with lights, those end clamps are gorgeous. Oh, nice mill, 2.5um runout nice. scale to 1/5 of a thou. standard 0.005mm or 2 thou. Brave taking a hone to a new machine but as you suggest the finish can be where the cost brings it into the artiste maker market. Looking forward to seeing an AS puzzle cube.Your going to need a smaller rotary table and indexing head . Nice door, almost domestic.

It was an honor getting to put a 728 together for you Adam, I'm glad you like it!
Thank you to PM for spreading the word through various makers. You’re just down the road from me, so you will be my destination when my shop space is finished this summer.
Between this and BlondieHacks, I think that's about the best advertising I've seen for Precision Matthews!
I would much rather see PM give random customers a free machine than guys like Adam who can well afford to buy his own.
Can I have one too? Pleaaaaaasssse???
@@joedowling5452 It's a business not a charity.
My brother and I say, "Aziz, LIGHT!" all the time, and I'm so happy Adam does too.
"I am here for the flow state" That is probably THE MOST interesting and important quote in the entire video! Nice!
Adam just became "The Funk" in the first 7 minutes of the build 😂 Adam you are a treasure to us all. You've been inspiring me for 20 years. I love seeing you now as both the Cerebral Engineer and the Manic Artist.
he may be a maniac but he's OUR maniac
He has perfected the "Horrify your kids at a wedding reception" dance. 😂
@@talyrath 🤣🤣🤣
I loved this quirky funky vibe out of nowhere
EDITOR! Give us a little taste of what he was grooving to, 5 seconds will do, and we can appreciate it that much more!
As long as I have been watching Adam and Tested. It never gets old watching Adam stop and have a dance party right in the middle of a build 😂.
Yaaaaaah! Adam dancing in the shop! I admire your lack of inhibition! I to, dance in my shop on occasion. When no one's around. At all. To see me. It's nice to celebrate the minor milestones and confirm the joy involved of making!
That’s a smooth lock hole transition. Kudos Josh.
I half-expected the "costume change" to be a Batman transition 😀
@Andrew Sampson I did one of those in the press fit gear toy-car video! 😅
Cheers!
GIVE JOSH A BIG RAISE! The 'Stock Music Funk' was A CLASS. The Step-Drill Fly-Thru was TOP TIER... but the KANEDAAA synced perfectly to my voice was ..... I had to stop the video and leave the room I was laughing SO HARD.
I don't often literally LOL, but the perfectly-edited dance montage was fall-down funny. Made my day. Thank you Adam and your editors.
Yeah, but do you ROFL?
@@Immolate62 I was in my workshop, so I am very careful to avoid the ROF
My God man! I'm old enough to get your jokes and young enough to share the same dance moves! Long time fan, love to see you just tinkering in your element. Love ya Adam!
Adam, you inspire me to live life with this much excitement about the things I enjoy to do. Thank you.
I had a new set of BA taps and dies arrive the other day, and I have to say the smell of the preserving oil they had been wrapped in was just wonderful, nothing better than the oil smell of new tools.
Did not know, I needed Adam dancing...but it made my day!
Really cool little mill and I love how Adam always has to modify something as he's building it.

“Cabinets are where stuff can go to die”. How true!
"Aziz, LIGHT!" Glad I'm not the only one that says that around the shop.
Great new toy! Exciting to see you excited by it. Looking forward to seeing what you create with it. Enjoy!
that transition at @15:26 was worth the price of admission easily
By far. Dancing Adam, is best Adam
The through the hole transition was smooth af. Well done editor.

I get so much extra entertainment from the random quotes Adam drops during his work. Fifth Element, Akira… Perfect
All this and you can dance too? Wow! Thanks for the great videos.
Man I would love one of those mills. Now that I have all my gear at stage one, I can start working on upgrading those pieces that need it. Precision Matthews is definitely my stage two target brand. Between Blondihacks and now Adam Savage, you have a very strong endorsement in my eyes.
I’m glad to see that Adam’s and my dance skills are on par with each other.
That keyhole transition at 15:46 👌🏻
Looks like a good mill. Thoroughly enjoyed
Hey Adam, just a quick tip!
I strongly recommend not wiping metal shavings away from drilling through sheet metal with your hand. I did the same years ago and didn't notice one shaving was still attached. Hospital trips / tendon repair surgery aren't fun. :/
😲😢
I'm more concerned about the x-acto knife just rolling on top of the cabinet while Adam is glues wood inside
I worked with an old machinist and he never touched metal chips. So I learned by his example.
My go to is the blow method, if they dont move when you blow on them dont touch them with your hand haha
Most regular viewers just... Aren't phased by that any more. He prioritizes his flow state over any reasonable amount of safety precautions, for better or worse
Adam, as someone of a similar age vintage :), I recommend getting a few old beat up couch cushions that you use for putting on the floor to kneel on. I have found that makes it much more pleasant to work while kneeling on the floor, etc.
I am envious of his new machine.
Thought my Favorite part was Fifth Element reference Til tha Dancin' started ... Made my day !!
I will more than likely never own a mill or need a stand for one but watching all the infrastructure stuff Adam does gives me so many ideas
Yeah, me neither, yet I started my order today. May as well get a lathe too right?
total kudos for the keyhole transition I agree with Oh hey Trevor flowers
I am overjoyed for you. (Have not a flaming clue what that thing can do or was designed to do, but it made you happy so huzzah!)
Kudos for finding a piece of production library music that kinda fits Adam's dancing.
Josh is awesome, isn't he???
"Cabinets are where things go to die." Great quote.
You are going to love the 728 Adam, I got one that I CNC's and its just an amazing machine. Can't wait to see what you do with yours, Take Care!
love the spongy wobble floor of this plywood assembly, exactly what a machine shop or any work shop needs the most...one step in any direction and the swell propagates to every surface, just perfection 😉🤔😩😖😂🤣
I don't know what the depiction would be, but "tightening one screw before the rest are in place and having to take it all apart" should be one of the next demerit badges
love the Akira callback lol
Just want to say I love those containers that the bits come in
Much better , thank you Aziz.
Akira.. good stuff
dancing while you work, you know he loves what he does
Props to the editor for syncing up the music overlay with Adam's dancing 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's our Josh Self!
@@tested and looks like you were having some more fun as well! some lovely cuts
I have no suggestions lol...your awesome im just learning..you know your show is kid safe and they tell me the stuff they learned from your videos..thank you kind sir..
I would suggest Adam not put any tooling below the water line. As he uses the machine all manner of what have you is going to fly off and land on whatever's there.
Have fun with your new toy im sure you will enjoy it.cant wait for the video you put out when you use it for the first time.
Nice. Your excitement and love for tools is fun to watch. Same here. Good stuff, thanks for sharing.
I not at all prepared for that Kanedaaaaa scroll, good work guys
It's a great machine! I am very pleased to own one.
Two tips:
The distance to beep on the DRO can be turned off.
The puddle of oil in the chip pan is because the outlet of the oneshot oiler is higher than the Y-axis oiling points.

Thank you Aziz.
Adam, give your video editor some props. Well done video.
I love that I’m not the only one who dances while they work. Go Adam!
I repurposed a bathroom sink cabinet.
I lined it with Glasliner a shiny white beaded plastic sheet.
I put a battery powered motion light on the back wall.
It is like a 100 watt light is in there.
The shinny surface reflects the light very well.
Can't wait to see this new mill in action!
Great addition Adam, and also put it's stand on wheels?! Maybe...
@ 25:01 reminds me for Back to the Future 1 where Doc explains the time machine, instead Adam announcing his new tool 😄🙌
I’m always jealous of your ingenuity, you sir are a true artisan and artist.
Keep the clips coming always a pleasure to watch…👍🏼
I've owned a few of these small mills. I actually really like them. It's much easier to "throw around" when you're machining small parts. 9 times out of 10 I would pick the small mill over the big mill, if I don't need the rigidity or table space.

Pour a concrete base and ditch the stand and that little mill will be a completely different machine. That metal base does look more sturdy than the ones I've dealt with previously though. You might have better luck.
So many machines are nerfed by crap stands. I suspect that Adam won't be satisfied with this one and eventually we'll see a ODB of a new stand.
It would be a dream machine to get a PM mill. I don't know that I will ever afford one when I can't even afford a cheaper harbor freight mill.
Great video!
“Aziz, light!” 🤣 I do love a sci-fi film reference that not everyone will get ✔
Love the machining path you are on! I have the bug too....
Tool stand to the rescue ✌
Thx, Adam, for another interesting vid 👍
Did you ever build your spray paint booth? Love the Dad dancing. CLASS
That assembly montage was the most "dude vibing in his cave" thing I've ever seen
The squeek on the camera arm is lethal in this one.
You're my work/thought-process-&-approach-and-organization-method twin. Question is, have I always been this way or is it because of watching you?
I have had that thought too and I just assume a lot of it was growing up watching him as a kid that guided it haha
Adam has a disease that makes him act like that.
Things I didn’t know that I needed in my life: And Adam Savage dance and build montage.
Also love that when Adam gets a new toy, he IMMEDIATELY cuts it up/modified it. “Mr. Don’t Try This, a.k.a. “Mr. Voids Warranties” 😂
Thank you.
I wonder how are the curvatures of Adam's shop floor.
Like how deep does it looks, all the scratches and holes it bears if everything in the shop became invisible suddenly
because it's feels like it's like a story book of adam's journey
I think the same thing about the benchtops and that leather topper, they're like tapestries created over years of wear and tear
stellar editing on this one 👌
Adam was vibing during the build of the cabinet 😂
4:46 "Aziz light!" - The man knows his fifth element.
14:15 "We've trained for this people. We know how to do it." - What movie ? Or from Band of Brothers ?
20:47 "We named the dog Indiana" - 🤣
26:36 A bit of Akira
Because the right hand does so much work on a vertical milling machine, I mount the collets and DRO on the left side of the machine.
This setup works well for me.
The Maker's Shop Paradox.
The more tools you have. The more shop need.
The more space you have the more tools you need.
it's the law of induced demand
So is that the same machine that Blondihacks now has? I know she got a larger PM mill recently, and 728 sounds familiar. If you don't already watch her, I recommend it heavily, she had really nice intro videos, and she also builds some amazing projects on bench top machines.
Yes, Quinn's current machine is Precison Mathews PM-728
What a great little machine !
Lol, “Aziz, Light!” Is my ‘turn on the living room lights’ command. 😂
Yeah the dancing Adam!
hey Adam! i miss mythbusters but i love your videos!
Thank you Aziz
Hi there. Greeting from South Africa. Watch your channel all the time. My garage (shop)resembles yours but a lot smaller. Organized chaos. Love it. I'm surprised you didn't opt for using a grinder with a thin metal cutting disk in place of the jig saw. I find it's way more controllable and cuts very straight of course. 😊

Thought about putting a precision compound table on my knee mill that could easily be cnc,d, for 90% of jobs you could still control the Z manually I think and obtain good precision
ha ha ha on the internet dancing like no one's watching . all my best to you and yours from Liverpool
Awesome dude you are genius thanks for the sharing this video.
One way to get rid of the wavyness of the false floor easily is to take some threaded rods, make some threaded plates (with at least 6 screws in them), screw the threaded plates in the floor, securely, then through a hole previously drilled in the floor pass the threaded rod. Around heavy equipment, this will transfer the weight of the items which otherwise makes the floor feel like a water bed, and make it more stable. Two or three of them near a heavy item will dramatically change the way it feels, and also secure things, because ultimately, there's a limit to what wood can do... and that weight is gonna make it all play until it snaps. Just my 2 cents.
12:43 ... PLEASE think of and choose rivets in from the front, *_through_* the acrylic, through a washer, THEN squeeze the rivet.. So it bites the washer and only applies surface compression to the acrylic, no expansive/tensile forces in the holes in acrylic (it'll most assuredly crack if riveted directly into acrylic.. let it bite a washer)
U always make your TOOLS better.❤️
I've had a variable speed head Bridgeport in my shop for 10 years now. For the small stuff I do a PM-728 would suit me better & free up more floorspace.
LOL that Akira reference. Laughed out loud for real.
I had the same issue with my spindle on my PM25 I got a few months ago. The taper was also cut too deep so if you were using a keyless chuck it would bottom out against the spindle and lock the chuck. Had to put a new spindle in it.
What was that awesome table vice arm thing you hit with a wooden mallet? I had never seen that before and it's just so cool!
I'm fairly certain he has a video where he installed/upgraded that table and he talks about how awesome those are.
another great transition well done!
Loved watching this video
Nice soldering station, Inspired to have iron, hot air gun,solder, heatshrink, cutters and stripper dedicated to a single portable unit, maybe more helping hands with lights, those end clamps are gorgeous. Oh, nice mill, 2.5um runout nice. scale to 1/5 of a thou. standard 0.005mm or 2 thou. Brave taking a hone to a new machine but as you suggest the finish can be where the cost brings it into the artiste maker market. Looking forward to seeing an AS puzzle cube.Your going to need a smaller rotary table and indexing head . Nice door, almost domestic.
