New PM-728V-T Mill

I, too, am waiting on a PM-728V-T with DRO. For those who are interested, the following link will let you follow the progress of the container ship that is carrying our mills! https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9786736 It's scheduled to dock in New York on Friday of this coming week! Not that I'm anxious or anything like that . . .

Finally connected the encoder to the Acorn board to test proof of concept. It works.

Nice, Thanks for the info! Hopefully there isn't a problem at customs.

Not sure if the map is updating but it doesn't look like the Osprey is going to make NYC by Friday?

Hi Guys - sort of off the last topic of discussion here, but - any thoughts/experiences with the quality of the PM Taiwan-made vs PM Chinese-made machines? Looks like in general the Taiwanese machines are about $1000 or so more than the equivalent Chinese machines, e.g. 728 vs 727 models. Is the quality and accuracy that much better, worth the cost?
