Very likely from the same factory, I figure if I use the same tools as other folks on here they can give better adviceIt’s the same color as my Enco badged RF30 made in ‘88. Funny, mine was bought from a guy who did custom fab like 4wd tubular bumpers and mostly used for mitering the tubes. Mine had a much harder life

The RF30 has a funny place in the machine pecking order. Much maligned by BP/knee mill crowd, but loved by those that know it’s limitations and quirks. As long as you stay in its envelope it can do good work and not all of us have the room or need for a BP, as blasphemous as that sounds. There’s a lot of us mill/drill folks here.Very likely from the same factory, I figure if I use the same tools as other folks on here they can give better advice

I do fall into the category of not enough space for a full size knee mill.
But, I was always told it's a poor workman who blames his tools....
If I need something bigger done I'll send it out.
