--- Quote from: photorock on July 22, 2004, 12:55:14 pm --- I agree, rent one for a day. The only thing about renting one is they may not rent bits or a slot cutter for that matter, so you may have to borrow one or buy one of those. Have you considered checking your local kitchen cabinet makers or furniture makers they would probable cut the slots for a small fee. When I cut the slot in my CP I used a handsaw, although it worked great, it was time consuming. --- End quote --- When I looked into renting one, they were like $35-50 for a 1/2 day, and they are $19 or $29 to buy from www.harborfreight.com |

I think the top 3 power tools for this hobby are cordless drill, jigsaw and a router. I didn't know what a router was before I bought it. It turns out I use it all the time: T-molding, cutting holes in Lexan, routing CP's to mount custom controls, installing hinges, flush trimming laminate & Lexan, bevels & edge rounding and many other instances where something just didn't fit right. The router also comes in handy for other home projects. Unless you are an artisan with a circular saw or hand plane, I doubt there is a good substitute for a router. Maybe you could use a Dremel, but I'd spend the money on a router. |
