New Router

Post by MaxRichards »

I'm not sure this is the place to post this. I'm looking for a new router I have used an e-z Router for several years, it had some problems but have worked around most. I'm wondering what brands people used and if they have had problems. I'm looking for one made in the US.

Thanks
Max

Two systems that I've used are CAMaster and ShopBot. Both companies have excellent support and active user forums.

Max, you haven't really given people much to go on & could do with expanding your post a bit. What do you want a new machine for ? Is it hobby or business use, what sort of work are you doing, what sort of size & accuracy do you need, what sort of budget do you have. More info you can give the easier it is to find something that suits your needs.

Also what sort of problems have you had with your existing router, most problems can be overcome one way or another :lol: :lol:
