Are these the same X3 machine?

The Grizzly site

http://www.grizzly.com/products/Mill-Drill/G0463

and the Harbour Freight

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=93885

give a few different specs. (typos?)

Pros and Cons?


I'm still hooked on the X3 even though the exchange rate from Canadian to US has slid off the scale. Planning on driving down to pick one up, the Grizzly is a farther drive for me but I've driven farther for toys.

Thank you.

One thing that stands out is the Grizzly model claims 3 more inches of X axis travel at $250 less.
Seems worth the drive.

And, from some personal experience, Grizzly has fantastic post-sales service. You might find with the X3 that QA on it is not what you would want (but what can you expect for this price...). So you may need to make a few calls for replacements, etc. Grizzly has been very helpful and prompt with fixes/replacements.
