Whoops! You are RIGHT sir. I guess I was thinking of the X2. Actually, $300 more just for the belt drive, more powerful motor and tilting head is a bargain--The fine feed and Quill DRO are a bonus.
I'm sure the SX3 will suit your needs very well. The crate weighs 420 LBs. If you have a loading dock, Griz shipping by UPS Freight is $84. If you need a liftgate, then curbside delivery is only $32 extra. If you can't get a semi-trailer into your location, then you will have to pick it up at the depot.
In my case, I live 1/4 mile down a lane that the semi could not negotiate. My neighbor was kind enough to lend the use of his Kubota tractor w/highlift, and that brought the crate right to my door.
CR.
