I've allready got a dewalt trim router, but it is just too tall for my
application, due to the design being upside down (the z-axis assembly has to
'tuck' up into the machine)
here is some more info on what the router would probably do:
1/8"-1/4" hardwoods (probably maple mostly), 1/16"-1/8" deep, with small
bits (1/16"-1/8" typ.) on a small scale router (x:9,y:12,z:1.5), this would
mostly an "art" router for making wooden boxes, and an occasional brass
pressing plate (not very deep cut at all--at most .05", and if that became
a problem, i could simply use the router to etch away resist and then acid
bath the plate)

speed isn't important, i can go slow if need be

ive got a farely sizable compressor, not sure what H.P., but it pulls nearly
20 amps at 115 V

the die cutter ive looked at is: Item #: 35943-2VGA, an ingersall-rand.
wouldn't this be roughly equivalent to a dremmel tool?

noise could be a problem, but i eventually plan on enclosing the router in a
sound dampening box, with a shop-vac attachment for dust.

the router has to be portable.

SO, i could use the trim router if i could find a right angle attachment for
it. I used to have a right angle attachment for my hand drill, but Im
assuming that wouldn't take lateral load very well... does anyone know of a
right angle collet i could attach to a trim router?---Dave L.
