Hi Kirk,
That's an interesting thing - would you call it a louter or a rathe?
. Router, lathe, what's the difference?
I was surprised when I first saw the machine, because it simply didn't match my expectations - I thought it would be a normal router. But it's not quite. It seems like it will be great for a very useful class of things. Do you have a specific project in mind for it?
I haven't been making much of anything - had to rustle up a new job, so spending got put on hold for a bit. If I were going to buy a normal router, right now this one is at the top of my list:
https://sienci.com/product/longmill/
Once I get settled in to the new gig, I might pull the trigger on that.... or, I also got a great deal on some second-hand extruded aluminum pieces, so I could try to throw together my own frame and see what happens. Building a good CNC would be a challenge... maybe I could just do a laser cutter/engraver instead.
I also have a house to remodel... as you said, it never ends, apparently.
Enjoy your new toy - and of course, post any results in the Community Project Showcase section.
