I don't know of anyone that has bought one of those.

Most it seems opts for the PM-45M

I have one on order which is due in next month.

I'm thinking about the
PM 25
or
Grizzley 0704

I have the G0704 and been verry happy with it.

I have a PM lathe & mill & I'm very happy with them. I'm not sure what the reasons are but most people seem to choose the G0704 over the PM25.

For me it was price. I did buy before the price wen't up. but the G0704 is still cheaper.

IRC, when I was searching for my first mill PM didn't have them in stock and couldn't give me a ETA on them either. I haven't read of one major negative on the Grizzly G0704 and if it wasn't for me finding a Johansson/Clausing small knee mill locally I would've went for the G0704.
