Hi,
Yeah, I took another look at the machine specs you picked out and the bosch router may be a bit heafty. Porter cable makes a router called the colt. It's a 1hp laminate trim router. Probably a bit more powerful than your 3/4hp router. It's hard to tell from the pick, but it looks like the router in the pictures is the colt. You'll just have to make smaller and slower cuts with a small router. You may not get the full 90ipm they claim with a small router.
Also, a word of caution about cutting rings. I don't mean this to sound pedantic or stupid, but I have heard a lot of the letter and sign cutting people complain about this. Be careful of the order of your cuts. Cut out the inside of the ring first. Don't just assume your CAM program will make the most logical choices. If you cut the outside, then what you going to do to hold it down. |
