ShopBot produces a “robotic tool” that is designed for medium-duty routing and costs under 10K (that’s cheap for CNC systems). This includes the frame, stepper motors, control hardware, and software. It does not include the table, PC or the router. (factor in another $1K to $2K for these components). Other companies to check out include Larken Automation, and WartHog. Some other ideas: check out the alt.machines.cnc newsgroup for home-made solutions or try to find a used unit (Woodshop News is a good source). You can also hunt around in the discussion forums at woodweb.com.
