Firstly thanks to all the help I have had from members with info on and off line.
I have query as to suitable drives for router type XYZ table activities for the cutting in 21/2D of aluminium sheet to 2mm (normally 0.7mm),plywoods 1-2mm, styrene and or PVC sheets -2mm.Mostly on plain 'cut out' profiling duties.
Are speed controlled laminate trimming type routers suitable ie. Hitachi (to 30,000rpm) Bosch etc.
What would people recommend.
What speeds are relevant for the above materials?
Are coolants appropriate?
What cutters are appropriate for the above materials?

Two more off subject questions
Has anyone had experience of 'Data-cut' XYZ router plans?
I never hear BobCAD mentioned in this list has anyone an opinion on it? I presume that it may be 'overkill' when compared to some of the others available.
thanks all for a remarkably active and informative web page.
Lurking still....
