Re: [BlindHandyMan] New router: was new toy

Main problem with carving metal with a router is that the speeds are way too high. Wood, plastic etc. can be machined at pretty high speeds, but the harder the material the lower the cutting speed you must use. If some router can be slowed way down, probably to a thousand rpm or less, then it mi
