Re: mill/drill recomendations

Actually with the optional power X-axis added to the Penn Tool
machine to make it the same as the Grizzly they are the same price
before shipping.

I bought mine from Penn Tool because I was close enough to go pick it
up and inspect it. Someone further away from a supplier might choose
differently and add weight to Grizzly's good mail order customer
service reputation. By the way the Grizzly is a G9748.
