I have the LMS version, much more solid column.
I have an LMS 3990, solid column & air spring.
I had an LMS3990 and liked it, but it was a little too small for my needs.
have had my LMS3990 for over 4 years.
Had a LMS 3990 that did very well.
I have the LMS unit with R8 spindle table feed and magnetic scale DRO. Going on 8 years.
Ok you talked me out of the tilting column! I can see where that could create a problem.
