Hi, I currently have a Bridgeport BR2J mill, and it's obviously a useful tool to have but can anyone tell me how a Gate PBM2500 compares to it? The Gate has an R8 spindle, so I can use all of the tooling I have.
The main thing I would say is it any more rigid? It weighs two or three hundred Kg more than a Bridgeport so that should help, but is the R8 spindle then the limiting factor?
