Re: PM-25MV vs G0704
The mills are not 400 pounds.
I weighed each part on both mills and each part except the table coming in at about 70 pounds and the same for both mills. The head with motor 70, base 70, column 70
I move them around in parts by myself and its easy. The table being the only fairly heavy part.
As for which is better each has its good points. There is a 704 with a belt drive and brushless motor so that should be better but I think it was single speed.
