I just picked up a 1985 Enco 105-1110 round column mill. I am trying to figure out what other model match Rong Fu, HF, Grizzly. In short, I need some parts...

Here are some specifications from the unit I have:
Column: 4" (approx)
Column to spindle centers: 10 1/2"
Table: 8 1/2 x 28 3/4"
Tabletop from the base: 10"
Base: 15 7/8 x 23 3/4 (approx)
Speeds: 12
Spindle RPM: 85-2224
Spindle Taper: R-8
Motor: 2HP 1PH 120/220v (looks original)

I have searched here and the internet in general for a chart of all the models and how the align... but nothing so far.

Thanks!!!!

Some pictures of the mill would help.
 
Check out RF-30 images. I think that is what would be comparable.
 
Yep, that's a Taiwan made Rong Fu model 30 (or maybe an early 2hp RF-31). They are good machines with a strong following. I ran a RF-31 for years and made lots of stuff with it. The key to those machines is adjustment, they run well once the movements are dialed in- gibs, trapezoid nuts, quill feed gear engagement, and "my" head fixing bolt upgrade. Search the Rong Fu threads on this site for a wealth of information, how-to's, and restorations.
 
Thanks, it's confusing how the specs for the model don't always align with themselves, plus, I am sure they made many variances of them, or maybe just lost in transitions to the English manual. I see different column widths, tables size, over height, etc.
 
I disagree, it’s a RF 25. Look at the column base, it’s basically round where the cast iron base for the RF30 is much beefier and rectangular. This is the closest to showing the actual base on my RF30.

Looks like an early one and fairly beefy. If you need any help with the wiring give a shout
Running it on 240 volts is recommended

"""my" head fixing bolt upgrade"", (interest piqued)

Searched the truthful internet and it seems "most" RF30 have the large base, did find some pics that "stated" they where RF30, but with the same column base that I have. The specs for the RF25 don't seem to match up, though. Mine is around 43 1/2 height overall, at 4" column, 2hp.. .. Then again I have also found that even in the manual the specs differ for the same "model"
