Hi Folks:
I thought I'd jump in even though I'm a newbie at metal working. I ended up last week ordering the model: ZAY7045L because the Sieg X3 models were back ordered. My original intention was to get a Shop Task Eldorado 3 way machine but those were back ordered too. I also figured I could get a dedicated 9 x 30 mill and this mill for about the same as the 3 way machine.

The only issue though is that while the shop task machine
has a ready to go 3K CNC conversion kit -- I haven't seen anything tailor made for this Rong Fu R45 clone. Anybody out there know of folks or companies that are doing Rong Fu conversions to CNC?
Thanks
