Do you guys think that the mill machine from Busy Bee tools (king Canada) is the same as the RongFu mill? looks similar? I only know of one person with the conversion to cnc for the mill.

I have only found the 3 companies in canada that have already been mentioned also....

yeah but arnt kbc and travers in the us there also expensive compared to busybee, unfortunatly busybee does not have square collumn mill i am thinking about getting one of those small knee mill they have ( http://busybeetools.ca/cgi-bin/picture10?&NETID=0100080820061142370&NTITEM=CT054 ) but unfortunatly the x travel is rather small compared to the rf45 and also the z conversion to cnc will probably require a bigger motor then the one for the rf45 and be more complicated

I would check the country of origin also, KBC claim their equip. is made in Taiwan not China which often makes alot of difference in quality.
Also I suspect Princess Auto is going to start selling small machines, they have a bench top lathe already.

there in manitoba are they
the reason i am looking for canadian dealer is the often the price is a bit lower in the state but when you add in duty and shipping and also the problem with getting service i guess
