I would but sheet metal is really expensive, I'm not sure if its just Canada but two 6061 6x37 .125 sheets would be double what the 3x3x37 .120 box tube costs. Plasma cut metal also takes a long time to finish and isn't as precise. Does anyone know how 610 hold's there sheetmetal in place on there router? I cant think of a way to do it without using wood as a relief material but it looks like there using something else in there pictures.
