Hi,
Nice to here from someone who has worked in the tool room! I did a little of this a lot of years ago and have used mills for woodworking. Anyway I started a thread on this same basic subject a while back. Please take a look at:
www.routerforums.com/showthread.php?t=122
I am still thinking of mouting a router on a drill press and using the quill as the vertical feed and then maybe getting an x-y table to use for the other directions if I could find one cheap enought..... The issue with making one would be the threads per inch...
Even without the x-y table I can see it being usefull by adding a pin below on the table and a template on the bottom of the work piece to control where you route.
Anyway take a look at the other posting,
Ed
