Hi everybody,
Hobby-Machinist.com rookie here
I’m looking into purchasing the PM-727, and I see a lot of members here own this machine. I have a few questions.
1). PM-727v versus PM-727m... is the variable speed worth the extra money? I havent seen any complaints about lack RPM control on the standard 727m model. Am I overlooking something that is highly beneficial about the variable speed model?
2). My research shows that it’s popular to mod geared machines over to belts (particularly with the G0704). Never the other way around. The 727 has a six speed gearbox, which I do not want to modify. How are the gear boxes on these machines? Does anybody have any gripes with noise or gear switching?
Thanks in advance!
