Greets all,
I've been lurking about for a few days; incredible resource, great group of knowledgeable people in this community. I'm a guitarist and occasional luthier looking to realize a few guitar designs that have been forming in my mind over the past 20 years.
It appears that there are several DIY routers that could easily handle most aspects of my designs; I'm particularly impressed by the FLA-100, given the limited tooling needed to assemble it. For my purposes, it appears I'll need a working area of 14"x32"x4", and would build the machine to meet that spec.
There is one aspect of my designs that may be beyond the capability of this type of machine, however, and I'm posting in hopes of getting some feedback with anyone who is using a DIY machine to create press-fit wood joints. An example of what I have in mind can be found near the end of this video:

If an 8020 style machine like the FLA-100 can do THAT to mahogany, I'd be pretty stoked. Perhaps there are alternative 8020 designs to the FLA-100 that would be more suitable? Thanks for sharing your expertise!
