## Facts

- **Regular** SKUs are stocked (they can still be temporarily out of stock; they are restocked whether or not there is an order).
- **Built-to-order** SKUs are built only after an order. Standard lead time is **4 months**.
- Non-standard CNC router SKUs can still be ordered. They start from drawings, so add about **two extra months** beyond the standard lead time.
- The recommended (stocked / standard) list includes a new stone-router servo model and 600 mm gantry-height ATC variants. Full combination list on https://am.co.za/router/easy is much larger; most of those combinations are not stocked.
- Public filtered list with prices: https://buythis.co.za/cnc-router-list (`/cnc-routers` is already a category page, so the list uses that slug).
- 1325 class is 1300×2500 mm. 2030 class is the 2000×3000 mm family. Typical Regular vacuum-table 1325/2030 SKUs use stepper (or servo ATC) and optional vacuum pump / dust collector suffixes L / V / full.
