I just heard from the cashier at the local HF store that HF, starting next week, will no longer honor 20% off coupons on tool boxes, hydraulic jacks, or air...
Harbor Freight said last year they would no longer have any more coupons period. You would have to become a member of their inside track club for any future...
Into the quite, I inject a query...does anyone own or have access to an old RF 25, 30, or 31? Old as in the cutting depth is measured on a threaded rod at the...
I don't have an older manual, but suspect that the depth gage-depth stop is similar to my drill press (threaded rod on side of head). I'll post a photo if you...
Excellent link, Ken. The depth stop rod is almost identical to the one on my drill press. ... http://www.micro-machine-shop.com/Rong%20Fu%20RF-25%20Mill.htm ...
Yes please....the best pic I can get of the plate will help me build an image to make a decal of and apply to a replacement plate. Send to me offlist if you...
Michael, I have an old RF20 which I think is the same as an RF25 but with a smaller table. Would that m/c be of interest. It has the rod on the left to measure...
Further attempts at adding a photo to the photoes section of this group have been successful. Have a look at Don's RF20 in Photos. This is an original Rong Fu....
I wasnt sure whuch ones had the same arrangement in the original models 20 - 30 years back. Mine is ann RF25 The plate is what I am after, the depthing rod was...
I have noticed that CDCO has their 6 and 8 inch rotary tables on sale. I would like to hear about any good/bad experiences users have had with these tables...
I ordered the 6" RT from CDCO. It was a POS with a bent pinion and I had to spend $40 to ship it back. CDCO said that they would refund my money but it took...
Earlier this year I ordered a Boring Head from CDCO. Upon receipt I inspected it and found it had an obvious machining fault in the dovetail as well as...
I've bought alot of stuff from CDCO and have been happy with the purchases. Fortunatly I am able to see the items before purchase. I looked at the RT Frank has...
... I got the 8" from lathemaster when he had it on sale . Had to remake the clamp dogs , other than that it was clean and ready to go when it arrived . The...
I waited for a sale at Enco and bought an 8" Phase II which has worked great for me. I tend to agree with the people who say buy bigger on the RT instead of...
Are you able to cut the square tubing to length? If so, I would start with a longer length and cut a full circular hole through the tubing with the hole saw,...
Hi lary. Did you get that yadro pcb that you needed? As an exercise in using pcb, I Drew out the board according to the schematic and shot of the PCB as posted...
Your plan is way off the mark. You are right to suspect that milling cutters will not produce sufficiently accurate surfaces. It takes a very accurate...
I would agree with JS1160. With a light, relatively inexpensive lathe like that, there there isn't much that you can affordably do to fix it. Machine tool...
I'm suspicious that your lathe was intended to ride on the prism, and the gap is intentional. You may not be able to take the heavy cuts you envision. 2/3rds...
I'm getting close to tearing down my HF 33686 to do a total maintenace job on it, so I'm also looking at maybe changing the bearings. I've read on this list,...
... 30206 is a valid bearing number, 30207 is not. ... Not sure why a tapered roller bearing would have any qualifiers added to it like P5. It isn't like a...
