I can answer the first question: yes there is, a rather nice table router.
Routers are fairly straightforward to use if you follow common sense
guidelines like "don't put your hands near the spinning blade", "tighten
the collet", "wear safety equipment" and "don't wear loose clothing", but I
don't know if the 'space has a training program for the router.

Last time I saw it, it was in the quite room.
Basically you'll need a rollover cable and some kind of terminal
emulator. It does tab complete and you can use the ? to get more help
on a specifc option. Do remember to finish off with "wr mem" if you
want to see you hard work preserved.

Tightening the collet is very useful advice, based on my first ever experience of my home router when the bit punched through 1" thick hardwood and proceeded to go 5ft into the air.
We both checked ourselves for holes, found no new ones and chalked that up to lessons to learn.

Several holes are required, new holes since birth are generally discouraged unless you're filling them with decorative metal. Router bits do not count as decorative.
All alterations in human topology should be carefully considered
beforehand. Also, router bits are rarely sterile.

I'd guess one could be surprised - I can imagine them to be fairly clean - given the regular surface heating to rather high temperatures and the fact that they are made of alloys which are not particularly popular with the bacteria crowd that loves our flesh.

Hm, good point! Any biohackers fancy testing this out? Sounds like
there's a paper in that.
I've used the router in the space and still have all my fingers and 2 opposable thumbs, eyesight etc. If you're needing to work with wood to bevel an edge etc, I can show you round the table router. There are some hand held routers as well. I could drop by the space this afternoon / evening (Friday 7/9) or at some point over the w/e.
If you want to understand wireless routers you'll need to ask someone in a lab coat.
I've only just seen your email now, cheers for the offer but things are a
bit hectic this weekend, are you going to be at the space next week at any
point?
