Choosing the Right Discovery Router
Desktop and classroom use points toward the DISCOVERY 1 or DISCOVERY 2. Entry small-shop production and sign shops fit well on a DISCOVERY 8. Shops that need a larger bed for bigger sheet goods should look at the DISCOVERY 16, and shops that also want automatic tool changes are better served by the DISCOVERY 16ATC.
