...and continuing that point, it all depends on what the enquirer actually needs (which is often a little bit different to what they say they want). A friend of mine has a Chinese 900x600 router. There are quite a few design points on that machine that I do not like, and I would have done differently (and yes, I have built a router that does a good job for me). His machine would probably not do the work that my machine can do. However, he runs a small business and uses his router for engraving signs and panels and similar in wood. His machine has done a very acceptable job for him for the last couple of years. So, while the regulars on this forum can point out some things to watch out for, no-one has an in-depth knowledge of every machine on the market and in any case it all depends on what you need, and what you can afford. There are a whole bunch of trade-offs in almost every area of performance including, for a commercial buyer, the level of support needed before, during, and after purchase.
