Operators manual for Naerok RDM 350

Hello Phil, were you successful in obtaining a manual as I would also like one as I have the model as you have.John

Naerok? Never heard of them!

But spell it backwards and you have the country of origin! The RDM 350 series is one of the first Korean machine tools on the market, not wonderful but OK. I believe they have been somewhat improved over the years.

I think the Naerok is the same as my Rexon machine, far from wonderful, mine came new from a now bankrupt engineering retailer in Christchurch NZ with no manual. Ian S C

I've got the manual for the Naerok 400/500 machines, which I think are very similar. If anybody wants a copy send me a pm

I've had a Naerok RDM 350 since 1986, bought it new from Millhill supplies at Crowmarsh Oxfordshire, ( remember them ? )

It's got a British GEC motor, It's not a perfect machine, but It's never let me down all the time I've had it. ( 30 years )

Richard.

Hi Ian SC,

The Rexon originally was a Taiwanese machine, but I believe they sold the rights to manufacture to a Korean company. In fact if you look on Google-Earth for their address you will find a lot of other companies in Taipei making almost identical machines. My mill-drill is the RF-25 which is the Rong-Fu machine company and they are less than 1km from Rexon! Seems that area of Taipei is the main source of most machines made in ROC, Republic of China, which is not to be confused with mainland China which is PRC!

Just after WW2 the Chinese government exiled themselves to the island of Formosa, today called Taiwan, and took all the governments funds with them. Following the war the Japanese were forced to relinquish Formosa to the chinese, but they wanted independence from mainland China as they didn't agree with the communist radicals then running the country. Mainland China want Taiwan back but the locals gave them the middle finger!
