[QUOTE="dustbag, post: 2378664, member: 119212"] No Griz experience. I bought a PM 1340 GT couple years ago to learn on with kind of the same thought you have. I didn’t get it with DRO but added within the first 6 months of running it. Way nicer to work with. I do some of my own gun stuff but use it now more for making/fixing parts for my equipment and buddies equipment. It’s challenging and fun. As far as rifle work I was taught to work between centers not thru headstock so the through hole diameter not an issue. My only “complaint” is I would like it to turn slower. 90rpm is lowest setting. IDK if a variable speed machine would start st 0? I also bought a PM bench top mill. Good for hobby and working on stocks but I would suggest a heavier set up (knee type)for serious milling. My .02 FWIW I’m still pretty green. Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
