Guys I was looking at the PH-833VT ultra precision mill last night. Does anyone have an opinion regarding if the added dollars for what is advertised as better quality machine would be worth sacrificing the size of the larger table size of the PH-940v. The PH-833VT Y travel is 11" which I believe will be plenty for a 9" wide piece of material. I noticed a you tube video that showed an aluminum plate that was milled flat and then clamped to the table and then the part clamped to the plate for machining. I believe that machining something 9" in the y axis would be the exception and not the rule. In addition, it would give me a little more space in the shop. However, I will be paying more for a smaller machine for what is advertised as better quality because it is fabricated in Taiwan. Any opinions would be appreciated and as I said in an earlier post I will be converting the mill that I decide on to CNC.
Thanks
