John,
I believe this machine is similar to those sold by other companies dealing
with Chinese type imports. I have owned one for about 14 years and to a
point its okay but has limitations.
If its what I'm thinking it is there is no knee and the table has no rise
and fall. The milling head slides up and down on a round column which is a
drawback.
I now have a Tom Senior mill [which I paid 69 pounds for and its in mint
condition just happened to be in the right place at the right time] even so
given its limitations I'd be loathed to part with RF 30 type machine.

Gents,
A chap I know through work is offering to sell me a "Rong Fu" RF30
mill/drill at what looks to be a reasonable price. At the moment he can't
find the manual, and I can't see it on lathes.co.uk, or the rungfu.com
website.
So assuming I can
a) Fit it in the workshop
b) Get it into the workshop
Do any of you know where I could get a manual?
Also, whether the machine is worthwhile (the seller says it is, and I am
inclined to trust him)
TIA,
JohnP
