Hello John,
I have experience with the "LPKF PROTOMATE 92S router" and for what I've seen of it, I recommend it. (Great phone tech support & replacement parts are always available)
The machine is reliable, since our machine as been running around 40 to 50 hours a week for the past 5 or 6 years.
We have to change the vacuum motor about once a year. (But with this amount work hour, we consider this a simple maintenance)
The electronic is reasonably reliable and the mechanic is as precise today as it was when we bought it.
I recommend you keep a log of all repairs and part replacement you do, in time you will see that there is a predictable ware out cycle. That way you will be capable of preventive maintenance that will save you down time.
We are thinking to buy a second machine, if you end up trying the T-tech router, please let me know what you think of it.
(((The bottom line is : My experience with LPKF is a good one...)))
Best Regards,
--
