    Just gearing up for assembly. These profile with the linear rail guides built right in will make assembling go alot smoother.

    Hey Mike,

    Your build looks good so far. I'm putting together the same kit as well, although I'm still waiting on my linear bearings so I'm a little further behind. I'll be watching with interest as there's no instruction manuals here and I can already foresee a few challenges on the horizon. Have you thought about how you're going to mount your energy chains?

    What exact machine is this?
    I find it difficult to tell exactly what George is selling.
