    Hello ,
    I'm new to this forum and will also be new to cnc machining once I purchase a machine.

    I've been looking at the ooznest 1500 x 1500 screw drive and using one of my existing makita 700c routers.
    I'm not sure how long this router will able to run before getting to hot.

    I don't know anybody who has or is interested in this sort of thing so here I am looking for advice and even some inspiration.
    I have a shed which has now been reasonably adapted to reduce some sound escape by about 25db. There is also a dedicated area for the machine and a table of 1650 x 1650.

    Any advice regarding cnc and using the workbee will be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Those trim routers can run well for extended periods of time, just check the brushes once a month and keep some spares on hand :) brush replacement is easy but for some reason always hits you late at night or weekends when the shops are closed :)
