[Swansea Hackspace] Let's build one!

[jonpitans]

If it is any use I have a router in my junk pile at home. i assume its faulty as the previous owner cut off the plug though I have never tried testing it. the chassis looks sound though so you are welcome to cannibalise it to your hearts content. I also have a working electric motor I salvaged from an electric chainsaw which should be of a suitable wattage you are welcome to if the one in the router is burnt. its all just gathering dust anyway.

Sorry Justin I didn't realise it was your router, thought it belonged to the space. I wasn't suggesting we cannibalise it!

I had left my hand held router int he space for general use, i don't
know if anyone else brought another one, i don't mind it being attached
to things and used, but i don't want to see it hacked up for parts.

How big is this build yourself cnc thing anyway? is there room to keep
and use such a thing? and will materials large enough fit in the lift
to get them there ?
