First I want to say thanks! I'm a longtime woodworker, a hobby welder/fabricator and am sliding rapidly down the hobby machining slope. This forum and it's members have been an invaluable source of information as i have lurked and read and read and read. I also imagine in the long run it will be a big help in parting me from my money!
Anyway - I am shopping for a mill. After endless reading and consumption of youtube videos I'm close to pulling the trigger on a G0755 or possible a PM932 - very similar machines from what I can tell.
My question as a newbie machinist is with these machines have you ever been lacking for an appropriate speed? On the 60hz machines the specific speeds appear to be 90,210,345,670,1180 and 1970. My experience with drill press type operations is with belt driven machine and more speed options.
Any feedback on this or other considerations is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Mark
