Grizzly G0619 vs Shop Fox M1111

[coolgoose]

Hi Everyone!

I am looking for purchasing a benchtop milling machine and after searching the Internet for other people's
experience, I have decided to buy SX3 mill. I would be using it mostly for my model building hobby.

While I am searching ebay, Amazon & Grizzly sites for finding a better deal I found that Amazon has Shop Fox M1111 listing at $1700 with free super saver shipping. However, on the Grizzly site I see G0619 for $1469 including shipping. I live in WA so adding tax and freight G0619 costs me $1,608.56. Shop Fox if purchased from Amazon costs me $1,861.50 with free shipping.

I am wondering are these both same mills? If I go with Shop Fox mill, am I paying extra for the same mill that Grizzly is offering in G0619? Any suggestions guys?

Thanks,
Sri.

Coolgoose,

FWIW, I just noticed that Grizzly has the G0619 on sale now.

Just a thought, have you compared the accessories that are furnished by each vendor?

Thanks ShopShoe!

I haven't noticed much accessories with both the mills (I will be double check again). One thing I noticed is the weight difference. Amazon lists Shipping weight for Shop FOX is 470 pounds where as G0619 has shipping weight of 418 pounds.

They both come from China and would guess the same factory as said go for the one with most attatchments and goodies.
for a mill go for the largest bed power feed etc; NEVER purchase one that has a round pillar they whip on anything you are milling that is substantial.
