Have a rong fu clone here.
Paid 170 for it last year. Was a bargain. Wired the motor up and cleaned it down and its grand.
It was on here. Nobody wanted it. So I had it.Managed to get a wreck of a bike on a pallet past while she was in, didn't feel good about it and came clean when the time was right (about 6 months later when it was finished..)
Top trumped tho by a dog I didn't notice for almost a day!
Where are you finding this stuff! would love to do up a half decent mill/drill for under £250
