Re: Lathe & Mill Group Purchase | Configurability

Steve: Yes, Grizzly is importing the X3 - but not the Super X3.
Grizzly's X3 has a non-optional R8 spindle, and I don't see an option
for Power Feed.

I expect members of the Group Purchase will opt for configuration
variations on the X3, Super X3, C6B, and M2B which are not normally
imported into North America. For example, I bought a metric 120V/60Hz
C6B with DRO/DRCD. I think some people may also go for other ("Blue &
White line) SIEG machines not normally imported into North America -
such as the Z16 Drill Press and the G1 Power Hack Saw.
