As per my previous posts, I'm new to CNC, moving from pillar drill/etc.
So I have a CNC router lined up, exact dimensions to follow, but it weighs in at about 110kg and has a work area of 450x875mm. It's a desktop router, so I will need a suitable workbench - right now I use the basic benches you find at BigDug/Machine Mart. Something like this one: https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clar...nch-with-shel/
JazzCNC advised that this type of bench isn't strong enough. Any advice on something that's going to be sturdy enough to cope?
I also need to get some basic engineering hand tools, as there will be a new need to measure. For example, the actual sheet thickness will matter more than it has done (I've been drilling it manually). I've also seen mention of Engineer's square, etc.
I did look for a sticky on basic workshop tool suggestions, but couldn't find one. If I've overlooked it, let me know.
