Looking at CNCing a G0704 but some work fine detail (in steel) - down to something around 1/16". I saw a router added to the HF mini mill that looked good - it looked like holes were available in the head for a bracket and the trim router had a metal base to fasten to. But that router is no longer available and it didn't look as easy to mount a bracket on the G0704. So I have a couple questions...
Anyone have links to info on brackets for a high speed spindle such as a small router for the G0704?
Was looking at routers at Lowes yesterday and the best one I saw was a Bosch Colt model PR20EVSC ($99). It had some metal on the front but not complete. Speed 15k to 30k. Looking for suggestions on the router in the low (but not junk) to mid price range. The Bosch has a 1/4" collet - which brings up the next issue.
While looking at milling cutters I found the smaller ones had 3/16" or 1/8" shanks. I didn't do much looking and am a newbie - I think small bits are available with larger shanks but being able to use smaller seems like a good thing as it gives more options. Should I be looking at the bigger shanks for cutting steel? Where should I look for smaller collets?
