RF-45 Downfeed Lock Knob

[Rickabilly]

The beauty of Asian Machine tools is that you an improve them as much as you like, and end up with a truly beautiful and very competant machine, depending on the skill and effort applied the machines can be every bit as good as high end European tools without the massive initial outlay, considering that hobbyists are working metal for fun anyway it seems to be an ideal set of circumstances to me, of course this depends on getting a good square, defect free, rigid casting in the first place so if one intends to do serious upgrades to an Asian tool they should be very critical of the particular machine before taking delivery.

Oh and that is a really nice Knob you've made there!
