OK, what goodies is Santa going to bring you? You don't know? Well then 
 you'll just have to help the situation along and buy for yourself! 
 (Really the only sure way.)
 
 I just ordered a new 2019CR-ER Taig CNC mill! It has the ER spindle 
 rated for 10,000 RPM.
 
 I'll bet I have checked my email a hundred times since yesterday, hoping 
 for the tracking information.
 
 I saw the offering on Deepgroove1.com for $1700, and $50 for the extra 
 stepper and cable plus $90 shipping. $1840.00 all told. Quite a discount 
 over Taig's web site price of $2495.00 and $90 shipping. Plus, it has 
 the newer 4 axis Gecko G-540 drive.
 
 I got to poking around and decided to try to save a few bucks and still 
 get the same thing. I wound up ordering his controller, motors and 
 cables plus the 4th axis motor and cable for $601US delivered to Florida.
 
 And I ordered the cnc ready mill from Nick Carter and took advantage of 
 his 10% discount and lower shipping charges. (I've dealt with Nick 
 before, great service!) I would have bought the electronics from Nick, 
 but he didn't offer the gecko driver. (I asked). So the total from Nick 
 was $1074.99 including shipping. (I added a drill chuck mount for about 
 10 bucks.)
 
 1074.99 + 601.00 = 1675.99, delivered. Sweet!
 
 Some assembly required but damn near plug and play. I already have a 
 licensed copy of Mach3 and a computer to drive it.
 
 Oh yeah, it comes with a vise, collet set, and a couple of small end mills.
 
 I can't wait!
