Cheap (<200$) DIY wood router

Hi Nic and welcome to the forum. Personally I think you have made a nice job of this it is a credit to you.

You have been realistic with what you have said about it in that the accuracy is around 1mm and for 200$ it is affordable for any body just wanting to play without spending say £2000 to get a decent machine.

It is something which you could build and throw away if you wanted without breaking the bank

There is one big problem in building a cheap, "throw-away", machine. It gives you the taste for something just a little bit bigger. Just a little bit stronger. Just a little bit faster. Then you end up building a machine that is quite capable of destroying itself along with any body parts carelessly left in its path...

It's fun, though

Yes the best bit is the O'shite button but still a full build.
