Need Advise for a 4'x8' standard router

[ArtFilmgroup]

I am new in this and my budget its limited i want to buy cnc 4' x 8' standard Porter cable route.
is this a good buy or wasting my money and go big with spindle. i have a fully carpentry shop and cnc will be only for curves and especial cut ( 1 hour a day)

any input will be appreciate

Thanks forum!

There is nothing wrong with a 4x8 with a PC router. There are plenty of guys that have been running them for the past 15 years. Get it with a PC router, then make some money...then upgrade to a spindle when you can. Problem solved.

Jose, P(orter) C(able) router.
You just THINK you'll only use it for that
Changes your thinking

Porter Cable router has served me just fine for the past 6 years.

I've worn out 4 PC routers over the past 15 years. Even with replacing them with new it's less expensive than a spindle. Bit the spindle is much quieter, has more power, and has less run out.

Jose, if you do go with a Porter Cable router, which is fine for your purposes, if at a later date you do decide to upgrade to a spindle, you will still have a perfectly good router and collets and tools to use mounted in a table or even hand held, etc...joe
