Have any of you guys dealt with eMachineTool.com?
I’m leaning towards an RF-45, and they sell what they claim is a genuine Taiwanese Rong Fu RF-45 for $2900 whereas most other places like MSC sell them for closer to $5000. eMachineTool said this is a 100% Taiwan made one.
How can eMachineTool be that much cheaper?

I’ve also read that quality of the RF-45 has gone downhill, per the second link.
Would I be better off getting a Precision Matthews PM-932M and just hand scraping the ways and gibs?
Note , I Don’t Have Room For A full-sized Bridgeport, I have a tiny 1 car garage that already houses my project car.
