Projects like this laminated reception desk are part of the reason. There were 5 used on this one alone.
Just over 12' with no field-joint, this one doesn't have to come apart. It gets a simple white Corian top, which will probably be tomorrow's project. The solid-surface guys are so busy, I'll likely do it myself, unless something else comes up.
Flush trim to a raw edge
Flush trim to a laminated surface (no file)
Over-hang trim
Off-set base
Underscribe
I had already put away the one with the template bushing that I use to do the cutouts where the metal brackets come through.
Sure, one router could do all of those things, but the constant changing would have you pulling your hair out.
That's just the little trimmers, a full-sized Milwaukee with a flush trim bit was used on some of the corners when assembling the core.
This is a simple unit, no angles, no radius, or there would be more routers.... [wink]
14 hours to this point, counting the CNC time to cut out the internal "studs", which I can account for because I ran that part too.
I normally don't do that, those parts are generally done by another department and brought to me on a cart. I actually had two other carts of parts in the que, but this one jumped the line, so I ran them myself.
