I have my router functioning. NICE machine.

Thanks to Larry for all the help.

Now I need two more things.



1) The penske router spindle has a ER-16 collet nut - I NEED a wrench




2) I can do some simple engraving stuff usine Corel Draw, but I need some inexpensive CAM software to do more than engraving. Any suggestions?

I am hoping to find something under $500.00

If it's 2.5D (pocket cuts to a depth) then SheetCAM at $166 USD will fill the bill. If you need decorative cuts using V cutters and round nose bits check VCarve Pro ($495.00). If it's full 3D or 4 - 5 axis carving better sit down and dust off the wallet. The $500.00 budget is busted.

For moving art from CorelDraw (ver 12 or later) in DXF format for SheetCAm or other CAM packages download a free trial of our DXFTool. On the website
