Grizzly G4791 OR 9729? Or neither?

Post by gpopturbos »

Hello,
We are very new to this....we have been reading all of the posts for the last few days and have found very helpful information. We are about to make our first purchase of a 3-in-1 machine and would very much appreciate any advice or information you all could give concerning this. We are considering the Grizzly 9729 or the bigger one (4791). We have not yet seen anything negative about this brand and have read that their customer service is good. Do you all find this to be true or are there any negatives you have found with this company/machine???They also have a showroom a couple of hours from us which is nice.....


We would primarily be using this for turning shafts from cold or hot roll, 3/4" or smaller and threading one end. We would also be using this for drilling holes in 1/4"-1/2" aluminum and very little surface milling (also in aluminum)....would either machine be a good choice for this? We liked it that the bigger model came with the stand and a larger lathe motor and higher RPM's on the mill.


ANY HELP OR INPUT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED from anyone who has experience with these machines. If you know of one that might be better for our application then we are ready to listen!

Thank you!
Jim & Gerry
