Ridgidity - 833TV vs. 835 vs. 935

On my cart, I have the X and Z axis power feeds, and the power draw bar

The Align power feed is sweet! You might want to have them install it. The shims have to be just right. I love my 835 so far.

I noticed tramming is easier when you get it right and leave no pressure on the worms before you snug it down tight.

Did you put a VFD on your 835? I don't see how anyone can put up with the belt changes to change speeds.

Not yet. I'm 6'2". It's not hard at all. I will someday.

You’re going to just love the back gear. Lol.
Batmanacw is right, the Align feeders are indeed tricky to setup. Details here if you decide to DIY.

I'm paying extra for them to install the feeders, I learned that the hard way when I installed my DRO on my PM25MV.

I paid them to install the DRO on my PM1127
