Hi,
I am waiting on the arrival at a supplier of a Sieg SX2P mill. I have a choice of an MT3 or an R8 spindle.
I had initially thought of getting the R8, but I believe it is possible to upgrade the bearings on the MT3 model but potentially not on the R8 version? Is this an issue regarding choice?
Is there any great advantage of one spindle over the other?
To complicate matters further, another supplier has started stocking the Optimum rage of mills very recently.
The BF16 is similar to the the SX2P in size, would this be a better choice?
I'd love to go up to the BF20, but I couldn't move it due to the weight, and I've seen lots of posts regarding motors dying in them...
Should I consider the Optimum mills? Or just stick with my original choice?
cheers
Gary
