    Default G0704 or G3102

    Hi, I have been following all your G0704 builds for some time but have not purchased yet. Today I found a local guy selling what looks like a new G3102 for about the same price as a new G0704. Since I hope to convert to CNC eventually do you think the G3102 is a good idea? I see they are very different mills so I'm not sure which way to go. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I'd jump on that g3102 for the same price.
    It's like a mini kneemill.
    you'll be on your own for cncing it, no kits for that.
    It should be a very rigid machine.

    Theory of operation is all the same but for the Z-axis the knee (bed) of the machine moves upward rather than the spindle moving down. I see the G3102 has a slightly smaller travels but that machine would be solid.
