Heck that mill is in the advertising on this forum. They have three mills they sale and one is even a cross between a X3 & RF-45 if I am remembering right.


Anyway that mill is called a IH clone in there advertisement.

Here is a link to there warehouse

Hmmm... for $200 difference in price I think I'd go with the real Industrial Hobbies machine.

They must be "as good as Industrial Hobbies", it says it right there in the ad...

It's possibly/probably from the same manufacturer, so the issue becomes the quality of the support. I don't thing IH is in question, what about the other guy .....?
