I have a question regarding the difference between two types of "benchtop" mills. There are many clones out there, but I chose the Grizzly ones because it was easy to do a cost comparison for the sake of my question here.
G1006 mill: http://www.grizzly.com/products/G1006
G3102 mill: http://www.grizzly.com/products/G3102
The former I see a lot of, sold under many brand names. The latter I see less of, but that number may be increasing - even Harbor Freight has it now. Anyway, if anybody has experience with these, please tell me why I'd pay another $600 for the benchtop knee mill? It is heavier and looks prettier, but do you suppose it mills better? I'm just curious because I'm hankering for a larger mill (I have an X2 and a couple of Taigs). I wonder about CNC conversions for each? Hmmmm....
Any recommendations or comments?
Thanks!
Mark
