Makita Switch Design Iteration

Here is my solution:

Makita Router Speed Holder

I’ve experienced the same problem as others where the speed of the Makita router will change if you get any vibrations when cutting hard material. I used tape to hold the speed dial in place for a while and then decided to make a lever to hold the speed dial in place. The base snaps onto the top of the router and then a spring from a ball point pen keeps pressure on the arm. [Makita Speed Holder] [IMG_0965]
