That's a bit larger and more-complex than my auto-router. n/t Chan790 Jun 2013 #11

Reverse.



Then you do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around

Basically, you had to use CAD to design your woodwork and the auto-router plugged into the printer port. It looked like one of those 3D-printers and it used to beep when you needed to change bits.

For $4K, it really was a bargain if you did that kind of trim-work and signage.

There was a computerized lathe too but it wasn't nearly as neat.
