The order ship date came and went. I hadn’t received any word so I thought I’d reach out and investigate. :slightly_smiling_face: As it turns out, I did get an answer. The spindles or on back order and of course new machines come first. This is understandable to a point. First of all it would have…

Hey guys, We have had some delays with Redline getting in more batches. We are currently completing order numbers 51xxx (having fulfilled over 300 spindle orders to date) and should fulfill them by the end of this month. We expect to fulfill orders 52xxx by the end March, Orders 53xxx are anticipa…

Just a note on trim routers: They work great and I’ve used the Dewalt 611 and it’s served me well. I had to make adjustments so it would fit. Better router choice but like I said, had to do some case engineering to make it work (I love my Makita tools but the collet not so much). Just my opinion, pl…

Has anyone receive their spindle yet? If so what was your order number?

What mods did you have to make to fit the Dewalt? Because if I end up using a router until I get my spindle I would prefer it over the makita for the sake of the collet.

Not jump in the middle but if you get a router I switched my Makita for a Router11 from open builds last year as a gap filler and am happy with it. Uses an ER 11 collet. Quieter than the Makita. Just an option. 149.00 last time I looked.

Of course I had to get an adapter. Once it was in place, I had to file just a little off the case to allow all to be tightened good fit without any contact to the Z assembly. It’s close or in my case it was. Not much is required just enough so that the case does not contact with the Z assembly.

Thanks for the tip @KevTN that does look like the better way to go if you arent getting a spindle. But my goal would be for it to be a gap filler, as you correctly pointed out, and then to be usable as a regular trim router once the spindle arrives to get some more use of it. Doesnt look like the r…

This is the modification I made on my Dewalt. You also need a 69mm to 80mm converter (I have an extra from Etys you can have for the cost of shipping). Attached is a picture of the sanded router. [IMG_7777]

No it does not have a base to it. It is actually designed for CNC work, but understand your needs for sure.

I see what you mean now by mod and it is to the Dewalt, nothing to the 1F which was my concern. Mighty kind offer on the @RJensen , I have a 3D printer already so if this ends up being my temporary setup I will literally start a print and let it run while I go buy the router. The modeling for a sle…

I went with a dust collection system from Cavalier Designs. It comes with a 69-80mm conversion ring, and for $45, you can convert it to fit the 80mm spindle. It’s not the cheapest option, but you don’t have to buy two dust collection systems. Of course, if you’re a 3D printer, you are probably makin…
