17. MACHINES TO LOOK AT, PART 3
There is a used machine dealer not too far away that has 3 or 4 Rong Fu clones for sale for $1,000 each. I can't tell if they are all the same; the pictures seem to be of two different machines (note the different labels and stands), but I saw at least 3 other ones in the picture in the ad. They are missing the front panel. Is this a big deal? I'd like to put a depth/Z-axis DRO on this and that seems like a good place to mount one.
I talked to the seller and he's "open to offers". He says he has tooling and other items he could include, depending on what deal we make.
Does anyone see any items of concern in these images? The seller says the machines were taken out of a shop that had these set up for 2nd operations. He says he looks for ones in decent shape and that these are all in good order. He was very forthcoming with information.
Let's use numbers to refer to images: 1-3 are top 3, L-R, 4-6 or bottom 3, L-R.
1. 2. 3.
4. 5. 6.
