I'm looking at a much smaller router, and I'm looking at building it myself. I'm focusing on micromanufacturing for my career, and so the experience building the machine is a big deal. I also have an interest in resilient communities, which does tie in.
I'm planning on doing this for profit, but that also means I don't have too much trouble shipping all over. >From what I've read, I'd be surprised a machine like that can do aluminum easily. I'm looking at using HDPE for parts, half inch sheet would make good tracks I believe. Rubber padded tracks would be available, but I think HDPE pads would be preferable, since they're a bit slicker and would allow sliding during turns easier. The small design I'm looking at has done aluminum before, but I'd wait to see how mine does before promising that. -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
