Hi all,
Havent been active in years with a career change and a baby, but have got back into it a few months ago.
Still using my Grizzly 8689 and it hasnt been too bad. I found a generic round column mill/drill on Craigslist that claims to be never used/brand new, just sat for a while. Im aware of the reputation these mills have but the price is significantly cheaper than my other plan (sell the x2 and buy the larger solid column x2 from LMS).
I guess my question is are the issues you hear about with these mills (retramming necessary when raising or lowering head) make it not worth it in general or only when compared to similar sized machines? Or another way of asking, is the mill/drill despite its shortcomings, still better more capable than my current x2?
Thanks
