Just a few comments on the G0759 - Have owned one since last summer and have limited machining experience.
Purchase additional intermediate plastic gears in case you get too aggressive with your cuts. I bought a couple just in case but have not needed to replace any gearing yet.
The stock machine is limited to about 2200 rpm.
If you need to run higher rpm and also want to eliminate the plastic gear issue, consider a future move to a belt drive.
I am thrilled with the results I get from the G0759. The DRO gives me the ability to cut very accurately.
Cranking the X axis wheel became very annoying for me, so the power feed accessory (T23010) found it's way from the Grizzly back-ordered list to my machine last week. Installation was simple (including installing the table limit switch). A modification was necessary to remount the DRO shield on the back of the table.
Overall, this machine works OK for me!
