    Re: Torsion box router with a 4th axis.

    Hi Jerry - My new workshop is about to get its roof on in the next couple of days. Unlike yourself with restricted space I'll then have room to build some big machines. Looking fwd to getting some big space... Peter

    Nice shop & steel frame. Let me know if you have any 45" pieces of steel beam left over
    I have a 24' x 48' barn with a 16' x 48' enclosed work area in the barn's 2nd floor. But it's not insulated or heated. Wisconsin gets hot in the summers and -20 degF (-30 degC) in the winter. I'm worried about those temperature cycles on my lathe, mill and soon to be router. So I'm reworking my in house shop to be primarily for machine tools. It's only about 14' x 7'. I could see myself eventually building a 1.5' x 1.5' high rigidity router for aluminum in my shop and a full sheet router in my barn. But the 24"x36" I'm building now will hopefully give me a feel for both wood and metal routers.
