Problems with Makita router

the original thread with some of the 3d print options if you go that route.

as well as some other fixes besides tape but that do not involve 3d printing.

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]
