Router envy? Naaaah! Raymond's will be so much easier to steal when he gets it. He's a whole lot closer. I'll sneak it out of there when he's coating some MDO.
We cut out lots of panels today on a friend's MultiCam. I designed the graphics for a training center and made about forty signs that looked like they were torn from the pages of the Wall Street Journal. I tore a bunch of newsprint and scanned the edges to get the random profiles.
As all those ragged shapes appeared under the MultiCam, I began to dream of how nice it would be to have one parked in that corner of my shop. I snapped back to reality when I considered how much nicer it is to have the MultiCamand payment book three miles away.

Harding has the right idea. Let someone else make the payments and just pay them for your occasional job. I'd do that too but no one near me has one of those monsters.
David....email your contact person. I may be able to send some of my work up there. It's only 120 miles from here.
MDO is calling.

David's solution is the right one for folks doing simple cutouts and lettering. It may even work for someone who could articulate exactly what they needed from someone who knew how to run a router and program it accordingly.
But let me tell you, there's nothing like having your own machine out in the shop which you can play with, design for and learn inside out. At that point the machine will do magic which you simply can't contract somone else to do for you.
And then there is the sheer joy of watching the machine whittle the cool idea which up to that point only lived in your head, and in your computer screen.
Please take not I never even mentioned the "M" word either.
