Hi all,
Just getting started in this exciting world of machining. I have always been a tool junkie (home depot is my second home) and been tinkering with wood for over a decade and only since last year digging into metal with welding machines and all. Recently bought a PM 1127VF-LB lathe and enjoying it a lot. I am considering a mill and like the specs of 25mv a lot but wondering about 727v as well. I hear it is louder. Also it is 200lb heavier than 25mv, so what I want to understand is what the 727v will do easily that 25mv will not be able to. Is the vertical height an issue when a vise and drill chuck is added?
Can either mill replace a regular drill press (I have a HF DP) to get some shop space back?
