Just wanted to let everyone know that my CNC router restoration photos should be uploaded sometime today. I may do a video demo of it, too. In a nutshell, I bought a broken tabletop router (18"x32") for $500 off a guy in Richmond, VA. The CCA's were shot and the router was in sad shape. I replaced all the controlling hardware with Probotix merchandise. I then rebuilt the tabletop using 3/4" oak and covering it with truck bed liner (good stuff). Then, I stripped off the old "hammered" looking silver paint and used auto primer then laid a base coat of black paint. I then went over all of it with chameleon paint. It shifts from purple, blue, and green in the light.
I wanted to put all this stuff up because I've been looking at this forum for a little over a year and it's due to the help and support of this community I was confident enough to buy a broken router and fix everything myself. The least I could do is show everyone the culmination of their efforts to help me. Expect photos before this day is up (27MAR11).
