    Drakkn New Build

    Here is a question for those of you in the UK.
    I have the option of buying a part built machine a table router that is capable of cutting anything up to full size sheets of mdf/ply or 8 x 4 foot.
    The gantry is done as is most other things - so the questions are

    Which router or spindle
    which steppers and driver etc

    And for those of you who know me - finally I have moved into a 600 square foot workshop unit to pursue a career in building guitars , flightcases and speaker cabinets.

    Bear in mind I will have to purchase in the UK.

    Regards

    Tony

    Steppers will have to be decided on depending on how much the gantry weighs, as well as the method of driving them ex.) Lead Screws, R&P, etc. Drivers will depend on the motors you go with as well.

    If you're just machining wood, a basic router should suffice.
