General Mach Discussion / router tooling
« on: January 02, 2010, 04:49:45 AM »
Hi everyone,
I'm slowly working on putting together a mill/router for my workshop. I have many years of machining experience so I'm very familiar with the machining process, however, after watching a few of the artsoft videos on youtube a question popped to mind. I am planning on using a spindle rather than a standard router (I need the cnc speed control for metalworking) I believed that I would just be putting standard router bits into a spring holder and using those when I was working with wood. However, it looked as though the machine that artsoft filmed cutting wood was using the mill tooling that I am used to from working in a production (metal) machine shop. Please advise if I am seeing something incorrectly.
Thank you,
T Jones
