I am a machine shop with actual machines and am not trying to ask dumb home shop questions...
I am needing something to cut simple 1/4" grooves 1/8" deep in 1/4" plastic sheets. The parts are 20"x44" so i cant get them on my 4020 machine without screwing with indexible fixturing and my mill is pretty busy at the moment anyway so i dont really want to tie it up. I have found that prices vary widely from like $6-7k to any stupid number a guy wants to spend.
I dont really even need a Z for this project, and was just going to pick up a used cheapie on clist, but for some reason all the cheap routers have magically dissappeared... does anyone around here have any experience with a company they like, or have one they are tired of in the corner of their shop?
Just spitballing here, there is just so much info out on the interwebs that I am having a hard time sorting real from less than real.
