Can someone who owns a ShopSabre 23 chime in with the model of HSD spindle that comes with it? I'm planning to purchase a new machine and was on the HSD website trying to see the specs of the spindle, and can't find the 1.7kW version that apparently ships on the 23. Also, what VFD do they include?

Also, the quote included a $350 charge for "crating & materials". There is no crating, just boat-yard shrinkwrap, and it's bolted to a pallet. It seems a little excessive to me for the lack of protection that is provided versus a traditional crate (I could justify that fee if they actually crated the machine). Can other purchasers confirm if they were charged this same fee?
