They make solid machines and are aimed at the DIY word.
Good luck, cnc is a blast.

The linear carriages and some of the other hardware used in the Fine Line kits are made and sold by CNC Router Parts. I have a couple of them I was experimenting with, they are stout beasts. CNC RP make and sells components and a some kits, I believe Fine Line designed their own kits around the CNC RP components. There are a lot of router mills in use with their components, they appear to hold up to professional use.

CNC RP also makes a pretty unique rack & pinion drive and more recently came out with a v-wheel linear motion system. Over the 2 years or so I have been visiting their site they have continually been innovating, I think they make a pretty nice product. 

This thread is going to be fun to watch as it develops.

Be careful with fine line, maybe their customer skills have improved regarding deliveries, I have read some customer service horror stories over at cnc zone forums.
You can also pick up some real bargains everywhere on parts. Found a 2.5kw Fuji drive new in box for $188 on ebay.
McMaster Carr has a lot of mechanicals, wouldn't ship to Canada, but had some US buddies that did it for me.
