    A router will work well for acrylic, wood, and metals. Glass might be done with diamond tools, but I have never tried it.

    Interesting. I wish the large CNC like Laguna didn't cost so much. I see that CNC routers. Pacific Tooling; Australian Inventor Roger Clyde Webb has some new
    ones coming on the market and seem to be heavy duty.
    I have played with a X-Carve 1000 but sold it and moving on to some heavier.

    There are hundreds of routers and router kits available, in all sizes. Also, there are many used CNC milling machines available, some very small. It is only a matter of $$$$$, what will fit in your shop, and your required work envelope.

    Yes there are lots to choose from.
    Will be interesting to see the new machines from Roger Clyde Webb you see on Youtube all the time.
