Here is some info for those of you interested in putting using spindle: 1) a 80mm mount will come, but it’s not high on our priority list. 2) We will more than likely never do a spindle package, there’s a lot of headaches that come with it (people wiring up their own 110-220v is quite a liability.) …

I know that a few months ago my wife wanted a Cricut Maker, and there was a wait to get one. I’ve noticed the same with other crafting items. However bad Covid has been, it’s been very friendly to certain market segments, and definitely to Amazon & delivery services. I know I’ve found myself with mo…

My wife and I were just having this same conversation last night. During that conversation she expressed interest in getting a Cricut to start doing her own thing. I am all for it so I guess now I start looking at sales for Black Friday to see if I can find her one with some accessories.

We had (and still are) having an awful time with Cricut customer service. We purchased the Maker ‘bundle’ package. The machine would not cut various card stock no matter how we played with settings (far beyond just a tweak of the factory settings). Our initial call to customer service directed us to…

I was able to find and purchase a Makita router at my local Home Depot. It was the last one on the shelf. I ran out a bought it after reading this thread as I was afraid I might not be able to find one when my OF arrives.

Does anyone have a link to collets for the makita router? I know it comes with one for 1/4 end mills but is there a cooler for 1/8 end mills or something else to use. I have the dewalt 611 router and have some collets for that but I don’t think they would fit the makita. Any info helps. Thanks!

Check out this thread. Got mine and it looks great. @MindOfMcClure hooked us up with a $5 discount, which covers most of the shipping. Thanks again, Alex! [image] Elaire 1/8” collet for Makita - $5 DISCOUNT Accessories OneFinity Family, I just had a great conversation wi…

Thanks! I didn’t see that post before. Will look into those now

Products are out there in the wild. I bought a Makita router off the shelf at the local HD. I picked up a Logitech 170 web cam off the shelf at the local OD. I also purchased the Elaire 1/8 collet and received prompt delivery. I will likely be eating Thanksgiving dinner before i see my OF.

In case you guys haven’t seen it, the Makita routers are back in stock on Amazon! We will probably keep seeing rolling tool shortages from time to time until things stabilize in the world.

You buy what they call an adapter that fits overr the 1/8 inch bit and then fits into the 1/4 inch collet
