Gentlemen, I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger on a new G0709 lathe and G0755 mill. Both seem to have a good reputation along with Grizzly. Sure, I've found some online drawbacks and issues, but nothing that seems out of the ordinary. They seem awfully hard to beat for the money, features, customer service, and reputation.
All of the other machines I've looked at don't have the features or are priced way out of my budget. I have looked at PM machines as there seems to be a faithful following with great customer service and support. However, their website is complete junk, a serious lack of good info and pics, completely disagrees with their mobile site, and the manuals are even worse. I wish I could see these machines in person. I've researched the heck out of these machines, but at the end of the day I don't feel comfortable spending that kind of money when I can't find much info or even many videos online of these machines.
So in short, I haven't seen any of these machines in person, much less any equipment in this size range and capability. There isn't much on the used market here, what is is overpriced, not taken care of, or way too big or small. I want to work with the tools, not work on them.
I'm really open to any opinions, suggestions, recommendations, and advice y'all are wiling to help me with. Thank you.
