I lurk in the back ground a lot here, exceptional knowledge and very helpful folks here.
I had bought a combo lathe mill awhile back, G9729 it’s gone already, about 3 months owning it and bought it new. My space is somewhat limited and the reasoning for doing it. Decent on the lathe end of things, need I say more.
I couldn’t stand it, the swapping back and fourth was very troublesome.
I didn’t take a very hard hit at all.. I was surprised to say the least.
Jump forward, bought new PM1130 and have it home and setup. Absolutely enjoying it, perfect for my needs. Needs are threading, chambering my own blanks and making miscellaneous parts.
I need a mill, I’m looking at the G0759. Will be used on 17-4PH SS, Grade 5 Titanium and aluminum. All small items, brakes, tubes, Form1’ing items and other small parts.
Already bought twice on the above, don’t want to do it again.
Will the G0759 / DRO and power feed suit my needs. I’ve researched heavily and it seems to be hit and miss. Hoping the newer mills are less issues.
Thanks.
