New router needed

[presentpurfect]

We route MDF. Sometimes we are running 24/7 and are going through machines in a hurry. I need to purchase a commercial grade router in the 3 to 5 hp range. Can anyone suggest some manufacturers that are appropriate.

Hi presentpurfect,

I was unsure if you are looking for a whole CNC machine, or just the spindle.
So here are a few links that I have gathered which you might find useful.

Also if all you need is a spindle, it might be worth it to buy a used Colombo/Perkse on ebay and have it rebuilt.

I don't own any of these machines, so I cannot comment on any of them.
Hope I have helped, maybe more people can add to the list.

Best Regards,
