What the numbers mean on the floor
Space. Fits on a sturdy bench about 900 mm wide. The machine itself is under 0.6 m on its longest side.
Power. Normal 220 V plug. A surge plug is worth it on networks with regular dips.
Air and extraction. None needed. A small air blower helps clear chips from fine engraving.
Questions to ask before you buy
- Ask how the plate clamp works with thin 0.5 mm stock.
- Check for a proper Z-probe, it saves a lot of scrap.
- Confirm it accepts the same shank size as your router bits, if possible.
