Hi everyone,
Hoping someone who has done this can help me out here. I recently picked up a Rong Fu RF-30. I believe it is a 1997 with the power down feed. The problem is it needs to go down the stairs and into my basement. I am wanting to remove the column from the head. This would really lighten it up. I already have the column and head removed from the base. Is removing the column as easy as taking the cap off the top of the column and cranking the head up until it comes off? I want to be sure I take this apart properly. Hoping to get it moved downstairs then cleaned up and a fresh coat of paint before reassembling. Any other experience any of you might have about the sheetmetal base these have is also welcome. It seems kind of flimsy. If there is any modifications I should be doing to it before I put the mill back up on it, now is the time. I was going to make some leveling feet out of some hockey pucks.
Cheers
Dale
