Hi Everyone,
After lurking for quite some time, earlier in the week I finally made the decision, and I've bought my first router, a 900W Makita with a 1/4" collet ... :grin:
At this stage, I've got a few very basic cabinet type projects that I'd like to get rolling with, mainly centered around improving storage in my garage / workshop.
Outside of those projects, I'm a grade 1 class A geek, so using the router in connection with some digital electronics projects is a definite possibility, so depending on how that goes, I might even consider venturing into CNC. As for the CNC, I've got +40 years experience as a draughtsman, and 30 years worth of CAD behind me, so the 3D modelling side of things holds no terrors.
At this stage I'm pretty comfortable with Sketchup, but a friend who does have a CNC machine is trying to get to grips with Fusion 360, so I'll look at getting to grips with that so that I can help him out, in exchange for some 3D time ... :wink:
Cheers
John
