derekhawkins,
You can't campare a $600 PCBMill to a larger router. The
large router does not have the accuracy to mill boards. Even using the
same rails and linear bearings. As the parts of the machine get longer
the play in the bearings gets amplified. There are large routers that
are as accurate as the $600 PCBMill but they cost 6K or more.
It would be like comparing a $40 Dremel Drillpress to a large
$300 drill press. Try putting a number 80 drill bit in the $300 drill
press. The chuck will need an adapter just the hold the bit. In most
cases the runout will cause the bit to snap.
