I finally ordered a new lathe and mill from PM yesterday! In order to keep the wife happy, I went all out and ordered the 14X40GT and the 9x35 mill. DRO's on both and 2 power feeds (X/Z) on the mill. I wanted to go bigger on the mill, but due to limited overhead space I couldn't. I could not get any money off the machine prices, but since I'm only a few hours away, I was able to get a deal on the shipping. This was a little surprising since got a fair amount of extras as well as the machine. But I am old enough to know that "buy once, cry Once" is absolutely true. I paid by CC because I have good cash back rewards and I preferred that over the 2% discount for cash that PM offered.
I'm vise shopping today and am thinking the new Kurt dx line looks good. Just wondering if the dx6 will be a little large and should go down to the dx4. Any thoughts from anyone with a similar sized machine?
