I know that price is the thing that most people look at when buying a router but performance is a big thing too and the Ozito just does not have the worlds best bearings and lets face it, it is a cheap router that you use _occasionally_ and not meant for continual use.

It is fine to learn with but you will want something better when you start cutting for real

I was originally going to buy a die grinder but I was wanting to keep it under the build budget, I dont mind buying a die grinder later on once its all up and running its as you said something to start with.


echnidna I was wanting to know the average price that the supercheap one sells for, also by the additional mount I mean the part when they mount the guide onto it is spose to make it easier to mount it in the cnc router.



^-- Like above.

are the bearings the only problem with the ozito?

I think the supercheap one is around $68
looks very similar to the ozito

Dunno about the extra bit

I agree with Bob. Money was a big issue for me when i started but performance is critical if you want the best output. I use a metabo die grinder. Very reliable and run for hours and i think its much better than using a massive router(tested my fathers ryobi plunge router in a pre-made mount). I found it easier to mount and smaller which gives more area. Price was alot more than a router but worth every penny from my point of view.
