    Default LatheMasters RU45 Mill Clone

    Anyone have some ownership experience with this Mill? It is priced in the Ballpark with the Grizzly and others. I think I have narrowed down my wants to a Rong Fu clone (or a deal on an original). Just looking to see if any of them are better finished than the others. I think the bigger IH model would not fit through my doorway, so that is out.

    Thanks, Bob.

    the table comes off the IH easily and then its VERY slim, also you can get it through narrow doorways by puting the table to one extream, pushing it through, then feeding the table through on the X axis to clear the door.

    I have a very low door, so was more concerned about height when it is on it's stand and the overall footprint it will take up in my cramped shop. I am also of the mind that the price might be a bit beyond my budget when you factor in shipping. I guess I am wondering if there is an Fu45 clone that stands out from the rest in terms of machine quality? I'd imagine some of the Imports are of a lower standard than others. (some company must market the 2nds)
