Congrats...I know it'll be exciting doing the build!
I've been running a Probotix V90 since 2011 . . . decided it was finally time to upgrade. I pulled the trigger (actually, typed in the CC#) last week and the first parts have arrived.

What part of TN? I'm in K-town. I have a Pro 5x10 with linear upgrade and CNCRP spindle.

I live in Collierville, TN . . . about 3 hours west of Nashville.

I built my V90 from the kit and added several upgrades myself. I learned ALOT about CNC but decided that this time around I'd skip the educational journey and get straight to the wood chips.
.
BTW - I'm selling my V90 "turn-key" - everything south of the power strip (except software licenses) in case anyone knows someone looking for a great starting machine.
.
Any info and pictures of the machine? I might know one guy but I'm not sure if he wants an entry level or skip to a nicer machine, maybe he doesn't even know.
Have fun with the build so you can get to making chips sooner than later.

Cool deal, I am in Memphis. I may need to come see your build.

Cory says that the rest of the parts should be here next week or the week after. I'll post when I get tracking numbers.

Wow, I'm surprised at how many TN folks are here! I'm in Bartlett (burb of Memphis).

Cory promised me that the kit would be shipping this week . . . . patiently sitting here refreshing my email box waiting for tracking numbers . . .

Got the tracking number yesterday . . . . parts are scheduled to arrive on Feb. 8th . .

I know there's a Leg Lamp inside one of these boxes . . .

Harsh lesson learned today about the UPS Store. I wasn't sure about my schedule this week, so I had Cory ship the boxes to my local UPS Store instead of my house. When the boxes got in, the store manager called me to notify me that it would cost $5 per box ($30 total) before they would release my shipment. To say I was a little miffed would be an understatement, but since they were basically holding my router hostage I had no*choice but to pay them. When I get there . . . to add insult to injury . . . . they wouldn't let me pay the $30 ransom in one shot. I HAD TO PAY SIX SEPARATE $5 TRANSACTIONS to get my boxes.
