Hello all, I'm new here and wonder if anyone can help? I've just purchased an old 1996 Force International Mill/Drill MD30N 1hp mill/drill combo and hope to find info such as an owner's and instructional manual? Any ideas??
 
If it's an RF30 clone. Here is another. Make a few more posts and then you will be able to post an image for us.

Seems to me Force International was a BB brand was it not?

Cheers,

Craig

BB sold Force, but is not affiliated with BB. Force was a manufacturer that started in Taiwan in the 80s, but moved production to China early in the 90s. Until recently their stuff was quite good. I hear bad things about some post-2000 Force equipment.
 
Yup, Force was also sold at old House of Tools & went through that same Taiwan to China transition when the quality difference was a bigger gap. So kind of depends on the vintage.
