Re: Rong Fu 31 CNC Conversion Kit / Instructions / Help? :D

Ron,

I firstly pointed out that there is no yoke on an RF-31. Even
pointed out that you must be talking about the larger machines...
(Gave you an "out" so to speak)

As for argumentative; witness your "Ever seen one?" reply. (Folks
here are not stupid. they've seen yo challenge jkust about
everything I write.) I don't mind; truth rises.

Yes, it is responsible to be sure that folks aren't misled by
statments made here.
Thankfully John S corrected my misuse of the word cat PAW, instead
of Cat head.
Did you find something else wrong in my description? If so, please
share it. BTW, I DID mention that some folks called them "spiders".
Apparently that group includes you.

The thread was about a kit/list of parts for an RF-31. (It's STILL
in the heading here.) And that's not a Jet 8x36. by a LONG shot...

I stand by my words, and if that's a problem for you; so be it.

If you can find fault in what I've written please DO point it out.
