Well, the answer is maybe in my humble opinion. I think 1/2" un-supported rails is on the light side and the rails might deflect under a heavy cut and a full sized router. Laminate trimmer or smaller 2 HP router might be ok. The acme thread is probably 10-tpi so to go an inch you are cranking the handle 10 times. It might be slower acting than you want, but very nice 1/10" measuring control. The motor looks like an old uni-polar motor that will have a hard time lifting a router if you are planning to use this as a cnc. The price is pretty fair if it's suitable.
