Rosco,
Do to the high demand on quality built machines you may find some difficulty finding a used flatbet router. I have seen very few advertised that have all the newest in tech features. You can easily find the old bulky ones on ebay but most require 220v 3 phase or 440v. and they are very heavy but cheap, but you will require a indrustrial building.
I have some chinese mills and they are rinky-dink. When something brakes I make the part or fix the problem because there are no parts or support.
My first choice would be techno (starts @$18K),, second would be shop sabrer (starts@$.16k). Watch out for the cost of options!!! You can easily hit $30k.
If you spend $30k+ and get all the bells and whissles you can move into other areas of income generating business with a more versatile machine.
Go to
www.techno-isel.com look for there free book titled: "TheTechno Book of Cad Cam CNC" There is alot of usefull information that will help you select your machine.
You may find that you don't need to spend alot to get exactly what you need.
Some home built machines may do the job for you too.
I have some software for sale that will do the job it is BobCad along with Bob Art X with training tapes,new never installed/never opened. The program is customiseable to adjust to your requirements.
Best regards
Don
