Good stuff Paul. That's a nice tidy looking little unit. I'm curious about one thing. Exactly what do they mean by "CNC prepared" ? Are the servos already mounted in there somewhere? I just bought a Busy Bee B048..the one they just discontinued. My dream is to convert it to CNC by spring. Here's hoping.

Paul,
Looks good to me!!!! Looks remarkably like a PM20/30 series from Matt. I can understand the Canadian shipping being a real problem and the customs charges are a real pain too. If you have a Canadian supplier or at least one familiar with Canadian customs and shipping that will help a lot. Once it arrives and is all cleaned up and run in, dont forget us and the pics of your first project. You could even show us the uncrating and shipping configuration and walk us through your set up in case it is any different than some of the others. Congrats and hope you get a ton of enjoyment out of a new machine and the learning to go along with it. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any question or run into any issue you need help with anytime. That's what we are all here for and one or more of us will definitely know the answer and be glad to help you out and get you going again ASAP...
