I get that. No offence taken and I am the one who should have kept things real. There have been millions of these mill/drills sold and many thousands if not tens of thousands have been modified and either wholly or partially mechanised. I look at what people are doing around the world and what you see on this site and sites such as CNCZone is just a tiny fraction of what is going on. China and India have done the world a huge service by making decent machinery at a price point that means that some of us not so rich can purchase new. The volumes of machinery sales world-wide are increasing and not all can be put down to industry. The RF-30 came onto the market when? 40 years ago? There are factories pumping out smaller mill/drills by the hundreds every day. The 'maker' community is huge and growing all the time. I will stand by millions sold of the smaller verticle mill/drill though simply because of the numbers produced and the fact that they continue to sell well.
Upshot is that machinery being bought means people are using it to make something. I will endeavor to to fact check before posting in future or at the least curb my imagination.
