Hi,
I am looking at adding a milling machine to my small home shop. I can either buy a RF45 (a real Taiwanese Rong Fu, not a clone) or for slightly more a Chinese Knee mill with coolant and power feed. Both will probably do what I need. Can anyone give me a push in one of these directions. I have basically restricted my search to a mill with a square column/dovetails.
I know it would be better to get a used Bridgeport, or some other American Iron but where I am (Western Canada), these machines(well used) are typically 5000 USD+ used, which is more than I want to spend.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
