Router for plexi

I find myself in need of a decent router for plexi work. I need it to be able to plunge into the material for inside cuts. Also would like to be able to mount it to a table. Not sure, but I may have to slow it down for plexi work. Looking in the $200 area, but can spend more if it will make the difference.

While I'm at it, is there such a thing as a low cost CNC router for home use? Perhaps in the $20K range. 36x24" table or close?

Thanks for advice. John

for low-cost CNC routers. Several companies produce 0-flute bits for routing plastic. (Google is your friend)

You can also build your own. It's not as difficult as you might expect - and provides the opportunity to have the features and characteristics that _you_ want. You can take a look at one of my designs by following the JBot link at the page below. I built that machine because I wanted the 0.0002" step size for joinery work.

You can take a look at a ShopBot machine and some of the things I've done with it my following some of the other links on the page.
