Q.
What router do
you recommend?
A.
The Clone
3D has been designed for 88.9mm
( 3.5" ) diameter round bodied routers. If you live in the
US or Canada then the Bosch
1617EVS would be a good choice. For customers living in Europe
or Australia then the larger 106.7mm
( 4.2" ) Xact (may be branded
differently in your country) router motor can now be used. The
Xact router
motors can be purchase from Amazon.co.uk by following this
link.
Q.
What router bits
do you recommend?
A.
This all depends on the individuals
requirements. However for general carving (and if you live in
the UK) this 4
Piece Round Nose Router Bit Set would
be a good choice. They are the same cutters used in all of the
Clone 4D demo videos.
For US residents this Round
Nose Bit Set is very similar.
Q.
Is the work piece
completely smooth when finished?
A.
No, as with all types of router duplicator, final sanding / finishing
is required. However the more time you spend on the final carving
the better the finish will be. In most cases it is best to leave
the carved blank slightly oversized and sand to the required finished
dimensions.
Q.
Does the price
include VAT?
A.
There is no VAT to pay. However
some international customers may need to pay import duty/taxes.
