I am trying to decide between the RongFu RF45 and RF31 with CNC.

Could anyone guide me on this?

Some of the issues are:

1. Good CNC matched systems - Servos controllers boards and software. I
know that Microkinetics makes one for the RF 31.

2. RF45 has 1HP rather than the 2HP of the RF 31. However it has
dovetails, a gearhead and a tilting head. Is the 1HP too low for such a
machine? For steel ? Is CNC control available for the tilting head (5th
axis?)?

Thanks.
Andy

Andy,

It is much easier to CNC an RF45 take a look at www.industrialhobbies.com .
You are likely looking at the Grizzley model at 1hp there are many others
selling 1.5 hp models. Do not buy an actual RongFu purchase a Chinese clone
instead. You will be stripping most of differences out with a CNC
conversion.
I paid 1395.00 for an RF45 clone including shipping in October!
