I’m about to push the button on a Woodworker. I already have a Shapeoko 3, with a Dewalt DWP611. My plan is to buy the Woodworker and set it up with the Dewalt, then in a month or so upgrade to a spindle. I know the Dewalt isn’t a great router due to speed control, but I have it available. This will save me $120 for the Makita, which I don’t have an ongoing need for. Does anyone know if there will be an issue to use the Dewalt Router? Thanks Steve ---

Hey Steve, > [@SteveT](#): > > Does anyone know if there will be an issue to use the Dewalt Router? yes, its 69 mm diameter. Onefinity offers only milling motor mounts of 65 mm and [80 mm](https://www.onefinitycnc.com/product-page/80mm-spindle-mount) Welcome to the forum! ---

Thanks. Looks like I’m getting a Makita. Steve ---

> [@SteveT](#): > > Thanks. Looks like I’m getting a Makita. Welcome @SteveT! Yes, as @349iq2345 mentioned, the 611 physically won’t work on the 1F (_possibly_, if you were to get an 80mm spindle holder & make a reducer bushing). I’ve had both the DeWalt 611 (on my previous X-Carve) and currently use the Makita on my 1F. I couldn’t stand the DeWalt just from the pure noise factor. That thing screamed like a banshee. By comparison, the Makita is nearly whisper quiet. ---

Here’s a simple adapter ring that _may_ work to adapt a 611 router to an 80mm spindle mount. Would need to make 2, one for top and one for bottom. Small holes are optional for small screws to hold things together. I made something very similar before I got my 1F to adapt a 52mm spindle to the 60mm holder. Made them from corian, but never used them. Attached file is 69mm I.D. x 80mm O.D. with a 5mm shoulder and a 3mm split for clamping. Might get you by until you get your spindle upgrade (assuming you’d be going with 80mm). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/2X/9/96fc0d45e83592611733b7357fc28b7f89843db7.jpeg) [ADAPTER RING.stp](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/uploads/short-url/3mNAy98x8w1ZpoUPxnJoFtyu2UT.stp) (17.8 KB)
