I was wondering if the Novakon machines are based on any commonly known machines by Rong-Fu ( RF-20 etc) or Sieg ( X1,X2,X3, etc)?

none really. they are ground up cnc mill, not retrofits. the design is a slightly upgraded version of the sieg KX3 - which is very loosely based around the specs of an x3, but does not share many parts if any at all.

The entire Novakon line can't all be the same, one looks alot like a sherline.

the nm-200 is a ground up cnc mill. similar to the smithy 1240, and similar but bigger than a syil x6.

the nm-135 is like a sieg kx3 or smithy 622, but improved in several ways.

the nm-070 is like a sieg kx1 or smithy 516. not alot of differences. its is not like the sieg x1 manual mill - it shares no parts.

the nm-035 i actually got to see friday. its bigger than a sherline by far and made of iron, not aluminium. more taig sized. i have no idea if its any good. heres some better images: http://www.atron.com.tw/uwish/front/bin/ptdetail.phtml?Part=CNC-HM-035

Thank you for the info
