"INVERTED ROUTERS WILL ALWAYS HAVE
A JOB HERE !"
We
purchased our four head C.N.C. Router last year to help in the manufacture of
our wood dashboard overlays. It does a great job, but with over 700 designs we
could not possibly program and fixture all of them for our C.N.C. Our higher volume
parts, the ones that we get frequent repeat orders for, are run four at a time
with our four spindle C.N.C. Router.
However, 60% of our parts
are still run on our C.R. Onsrud Inverted Routers.
All of our prototype parts
are made first on Onsrud Inverted Routers because they are so much faster to set
up and the templates are so easy. After samples are approved and a few production
runs have been made we will consider programming the part for C.N.C., if the volume
looks like it will justify it.
Also, all of our thicker
dash overlays are run on the Inverted Routers. The efficient dust collection and
rigidity make quick work of our heavier cuts.
Sure, we would like to get
to the point where 70% of our work is done on the C.N.C., but we will always have
a large continuing need for our Inverted Routers!
As a matter of fact, we
just bought our fifth Onsrud Inverted Router !
