[QUOTE="Northeast, post: 401786, member: 8209"] Thanks Syndyne. But I won't be keeping it up. Bigger fish to fry ( I hope :D ) The GM is amazing on small stuff - and probably on big stuff too - just a matter of getting the coil over it. It is basic, it only runs relatively shallow but it does have a learning curve to get the best out of it and a lot of those early internet videos don't do it justice. These pieces are out of really red clay that the GPZ struggles on in Normal and the SDC only got 4 bits off the whole clay bank. The Z maybe got 30 bits, the GM has previously got about 5 and the last 2 days it has pulled another 16. I used to just run the GM in Auto and trust the machine to run it as hot as conditions allow. Unfortunately with Australian ground I don't reckon that is ever actually that high. Running manual sensitivity between 4-7 recently and this has been working well. Will be interesting to see what the Equinox 800 does on the same little patch later in the week. [/QUOTE]
