Fixed base is fine but just keep in mind the z-travel and what it is
going to take to move it around to set blade position. A plunge router
is a must unless you have a sliding z-axis. Then if you are going to
add a z axis, make sure you know how you will attach the router. If the
motor of the router cannot be removed from the router base and added to
a z configuration, you really lost 80% of the advantage a z axis slide
could give you. Look at all the routers that are being used in cnc as
well as the Legacy and buy the biggest router you can. Don't skimp, too
weak a router will make you not want to use the Legacy. Too much power
just means the router can relax, not enough means you will push it one
too many times and need repair or buy another one. Good luck

Needing to know if a fixed base Porter Cable 3 1/4hp router will work
on the mill? Also is there any other router that you can use?

I like the picture but what were you cutting to make that funny
looking sawdust. LOL Welcome to the fold!
Look into the CNC world, they have some pretty awesome z-capable
ideas out there. Most of them are pretty much plug-and-play.

OK guys I have finally purchased a mill. It is the 1500ex.
Unfortunately it didn't come with a z axis. Can anyone give me
a link to build one or does anyone have one for sale. I'm
going to try and attach a picture of the mill.
Hope everyone has a great day . Ira
