Can I get some feedback from the current owners please?
1. Are you happy specifically with the quality and accuracy?: Yes. Better accuracy, more easily (for me) achieved than with my old Clausing 100mk3a. Love the large spindle bore.
2. Which model do you own, G4003 or G4003G or other? G0750G
3. How long have you had it and if you purchased it new? Bought used a few months (and many working hours) ago.
4. If you were to do it again would you buy something else and if so why? (Probably not. Might consider the PM1236 for the brake and clutch, but maybe not. I don't love having to change the gears more than a G4003G, but I feel it's worthwhile to have the sealed gearbox. I have converted to a VFD, and while expensive and time consuming, it was worth every penny. It's so nice for example, when parting, to be able to start slow at the outside of the diameter and progressively speed up to maintain surface speed. The 750g lent itself well to the VFD conversion. I'm not sure, but it seems like the D1-4 of the G4003G might be easier to source in a few cases than the D1-5 of the G750G
Thanks for the feedback on the above four questions.
