Hey @WikiSnapper , hey E D, hey Auntjemimma, hey all,
it was reported in this forum that the Makita support stated that as soon you put the Makita hand trim router into a CNC machine, its warranty is lost .
Better take the one with a real ER collet!
THAT would be an advantage (and justify the higher price). Because unlike ER collets , …
…, which clamp the bit shaft over a longer length, the Makita collet just clamps the bit on the beginning of shaft (see length of conical part on picture, it is extremely short on Makita):
Makita collet
ER collet
This has led to many reports of Makita collets and their counterfeits not holding the bit safely and, among other frequent causes as cable connector failures and EMI problems, producing the “plunge into workpiece issue ” often reported here, ruining the workpiece.
Welcome to the forum!
