Re: Band saw for cutting aluminum
 

I have heard of teams building a braket for the router and attaching treaded rods in x, y, format conected with motors, using joysticks you can control it much safer than by hand and more acurate. I did use a router to make a large turn table out of 1/4 aluminum, I built a jig for it but at still was not a safe operation, the vibrations , heat and clamps made it difficult. the finished product is at http://team1322.org/machnical.htm
