Due to a thread that is presently running, I can come out of the closet with my new Chinese Mill !! I have the Harbor Freight Rung Foo Mill/Drill. I bought a power feed from them for it.
It seems to power the table fine but for two problems.
1. There is a high speed button that seemingly makes no differance when I push it. That's annoying because.......
2. I'm unable to use the handwheel now that the powerfeed is installed. Is that the way it's supposed to work? I would have thought the gearing would freewheel while the unit was not under power. Were that the case, you'd be able to use the handfeed.
I haven't called Harbor Freight yet because I have on some other issues and found them not very helpful. Though I would start here.
Thanks,
Ray.........
