Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re:router spindle

A 2.5 mm depth of cut in anything doesn't sound like a particularly
heavy-duty job, but I have found that it is much better to buy a
high-quality, powerful piece of equipment than to constantly struggle with
an underpowered model. I think the Bosch would be very good for a CNC
router. I have seen several similar systems in various places, all
performing quite well.
