Mill identity

[darrin1200]

Hey guys.
There is a mill available up in Ottawa for $1200 with accessories.
The written portion of the ad says it’s a Grizzly G0704, but the branding on the machine in the photo says RCOG-25V.

While the two machines may be basically the same, are they really.
Because of space issues, I would like to replace my General International bench top drill press with this.

Any thoughts before I call the guy?

That class are all basically the same with maybe some better quality control on the name brand machines.

I think its similar to this King Canada model KC-20VS-2

Yeah.
The only info that seemed to come up for this model# appeared to be from the UK.

The generic type is BF20, and yes it is like the King KC20-VS. (I'm very happy with mine) Except the picture doesn't show a gear change so you might lose some low speed oomph.

Given everything listed in the ad is included, why are you waiting!
