re: Fire Piston
Some of those metal working tools are amazing knock-offs.
A buddy who runs a machine shop on campus has a "Rong-Fu" knee mill. The main casting is a dead copy of a Bridgeport, right down to the casting radii and other non-performance features. Only thing they did was to grind off the Bridgeport name and add "Rong-Fu" I'd wager that with a BP sitting right next to it, the rest of the parts would also match.
He says it's a good mill and about 1/3 the cost of the identical BP.
