Well it looks like this is the wrong year to upgrade my CNC with parts from China (or at least until the Coronavirus burns out). I ended up getting a refund for my spindle order.

Maybe once China starts their factories up we will be able to resume. I wouldn’t order anything of Aliexpress at the moment and I’m limiting my order on eBay to Europe only. Even that is affecting my orders for my Warthog cockpit project. A bunch of parts on Farnell are warning about long lead times. All because the 21st Century version of Spanish Flu hit the centre of Chinese manufacturing in Wuhan.

This just goes to show how the world is dependent on China for a bunch of things.
