SPRAY BOOTH $3900 20 HP OVERHEAD TRACE ROUTER $2900 SOLDWe used this router for years to accurately cut out all of our
bulkheads, hatches, windows, mirrors, core material, tables and a wide variety
of smaller parts. A
4' x 8' plywood pattern board is mounted on a frame over the router. A
1/2" stainless steel finger mounted on top of the router follows the
shape of each template that is screwed to the underside of the pattern
board. The router is manually moved so that the finger stays in contact
with the shape on the pattern board (which is the exact shape of the part to be
cut.) The router bit at the bottom end of the router (usually
1/2" in diameter) is exactly aligned vertically with the finger at the top,
and the router cuts the material on the table to the exact shape of the pattern
mounted above. It takes only a fingertip push to guide the finger
along the pattern shape. A trigger on the guide handle activates a hydraulic actuator that raises the entire router up and down, allowing the bit to plunge into the material being cut and raising it when the cut is finished. The router will take up to ¾” diameter cutting drills or bits.
We normally used a 1/2" double fluted router bit. It is presently equipped with a large router motor.
A
drill press or any other tool can also be mounted on the end of the arm and can
be used to drill holes in virtually anything and guarantee absolutely vertical
holes. The hydraulic actuator can raise and lower any device
attached to the end of the arm. The router has a 20 hp motor with an inverter from 220 volts. The router spins at up to 20,000 rpm It is an amazing and rare piece of equipment.
