[Swansea Hackspace] Let's build one!

[Aled]

It's a nice demonstration of the idea but I'd think if you spent the time it would take to build it and set it up on a bit of practice you could do anything this machine could do with a simple jigsaw and with much less set up and fuss (and a lot less cost).

 Also I'm not sure what the safety implications of dangling a 30000 rpm router like that would be, especially if anyone could use it unmonitored.

         Personally I think the speed/accuracy
 improvements would be
           minimal compared to just using the router by hand.
 Doubt it
           would get used much.
 
         
       
     
     I very much disagree Nathan. The accuracy you achieve is
 far more
     reliant on your personal skills. For me this machine
 would be
     marvelous.
 
     You can design intricate patterns and produce unerring
 copies
     without much effort.
 
     
 
     Do we actually have a router of the kind already?

           I was the one who suggested a plotter for the
 blackboard.
             Only got as far as buying some liquid chalk
 markers so far.
             If anyone else wants to help out with the
 design/build, that
             would be great.

                       ISTR some people were talking about
 building a
                       vertical plotter
 
                       mechanism for the big blackboard wall,
 but i'm not
                       sure who it was, or
 
                       how far they got ?
