Hey everyone,
I am new to this forum and milling. I know you have all answered this probably before but I have a few questions about a milling machine choice. I have looked at the Smithy 329/409, but the price is to much then I saw the Grizzly models. Out of the G0758, G0759, G0704 or other models in that range give or take a couple hundred which would you choose? I am looking at a model that's not crazy big due to space, but want it to do various projects from polymer milling, aluminum, mild steel, and some gun smithing on pistol slides for light milling..such as Glock slides (hard steel with light cuts). What would be the most accurate, best bang for the buck? I have looked at the G0758, and G0759. I like the DRO on them but would it be wise to invest in a power drive, and driven model? I called Grizzly, and the tech said "sure the G0758 would be great if I get the right tooling and speed down. Thoughts please...
