DeWayne's CAD-CUT Router Project (UK)

[dewayne]

I have started this thread to allow anyone interested in following the build of a CAD-CUT machine. I am in the UK and therefore the machine will be converted to metric sizes.

I would in the future love to make this a hobby but for now that must wait I am building a Moody 54 sailboat and I need the router as a tool not a hobby I hope this turns out to be a quick build I am giving the whole thing to up and running 3 months.

There are many issues in respect to building this machine overhere and I shall be posting them as they come up.

A quick list is:
230v 50hz
Everyhing is metric and I must pay a premium for imperial
CE approvals. -- Don't Care

Can only purchase a plunge router YUCK!!!! I will smuggle one in HeHe

All software and drivers come from the USA

Well there is a start.

There is a decent spindle for your machine available over here, expensive though, check out the DeWalt DW627 over here
Hope this helps, if you don't want to import

Kong, how much?

It is £420 on amazon.co.uk but you could try shopping around, dunno if you will sabve much off of that price though. The only drawback to this router is a fixed speed of 18000 rpm.
