I am looking to build a medium sized router in the 24 x 36" or so range and want to be able to cut a variety of materials sucha as solid wood, particleboard, mdf, and aluminum (up to 1/2" thick). I now the wood and wood substates will not be a problem, but how about the aluminum cutting on the same machine? What design issues / changes do you recommend - short of 2 seperate machines?

I am consudering using the data cut plans with slight madifications - anyone else use these?

Thank all

Dan
