Hello all.
Been looking at this site a long time , lots of great folks. At the point to take the plunge into CNC mill pool. I like the G0704 , it has a nice work envelope, and more spindle speed. And all the great leg work Hoss has done on this Mill. The X-3 has been around the block for a while, bolt on CNC kit , more units in service.
Is the G0704 worth the wait for shipping ? Is the motor and driver board problums solved ( don't run at full load for long periods of time ) Is this like running it at 2000 rpm for 45min vs 2250 rpm for the same time
Is the X-3 more reilable ? What machine would you all conseider more ridgid ?
I'm not looking for a ( Pocket Bridgeport ) Just a nice solid benchtop machine that I can run Aluminum, 12L14, 303 and 4140.
Space and Weight and Cost all factors for me. I have no room for a large IH Mill.
Thanks for your time .... Mitch ...............
