Randy, you should probably call them about it. The link to it on their web page goes to a page for some kind of oil, so it may be just messed up. I got a flier from them recently that shows the extended table with the exact same description as in the first post. It seems it's in their product line.

I inquired about these on 9/30 and Tim gave me the following email:
The Taig extended table is somewhere between vaporware and a real product. At this point, there are 10 machined tables that only need the final surfacing cut to true them up. Trying to get that fit into the workload, but other projects just keep getting in the way. A little frustrating as it is many hundreds of $$ worth of materials just sitting there, not to count the machining time so far. Still need to get the CAD drawing and programming done for the longer leadscrew. We may need to grind some of the leadscrew and that is held up with needing to get the cylindrical grinder we bought in July finally hooked up and running.
All in all my best prediction is late November to early December for the Taig extended table to actually be a shipping product.
You may want to gave them a shout if you're interested a set.

So, it sounds like it's not in their product line after all. I would think they would want to have a product in-hand before they send out ads to sell them. It sounds like they're very busy. That part is good!
