I am going to be travelling across the state which will give me the opportunity to visit the Grizzly showroom in Muncy PA. Sales tax is 6 percent in PA. I have a 5 percent off coupon and without shipping costs that would bring the price of the machine down to around 1200 instead of the near 1400 it would cost shipping it to my house. Grizzly has the G0795 coming out in march. I have compiled a list of the specifications I could find on both machines. Do you guys think I should wait for the G0795?

List Price $1195.00 $1595.00

** The G0704 ad only lists "Stand Footprint" at 15 3/4 x 16 1/2. In the picture there looks to be at least 2 inches of space between the base of the machine and the perimeter of the top of the stand on all 4 sides. I am guessing the G0704 base footprint is something like 11" x 14"

I should also add I plan on doing a belt drive and converting to CNC. This mill will be going in a second floor bedroom and will be mainly used to mill steel. We don't have a basement nor do I want it in the garage since a good 7 months out of the year it is below freezing out there and the rest of the time it is very humid. *Erie PA
I also have this treadmill motor I could use.

Is the G0704 rigid enough for accurate steel work or should I wait for the G0795? Thanks
