I am going to replace my LMS 7x14 and the two choices are the Grizzly 9972Z and the PM 1030V. Both are 1 HP machines. The 9972Z is a 11x26 machine and outweighs the 1030 by over 100 pounds. It also has limited speed options (6) for the spindle. The PM1030V has variable speed, but is a lighter 10x30 machine. But the big advantage to the 1030 is power cross feed. Both have 1 inch spindle bores, and both come with all of the accessories that you need to get started. Being a larger, heaver machine the 9972Z seems attractive. But power cross feed and variable speed on the 1030 are good also.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
