Where can I purchase the “3d printed part from the bosch kit” referred to in the instructions above?
As far as I know this was an independent initiative and is not a product as such. You can find the files and print one yourself, or ask a friend to print one, or maybe someone will volunteer to print one for you.
What country or region do you live in? That might get you more help from local people.
I used to sell them, but not any more. All the files to make your own are available.
South Africa. Anyone in the Maslow community from South Africa that has made a Bosch Adapter?
Hello Dag, finally the Maslow kit arrived in my house. Did you remember me? I contacted you first time by mail. So, i printed the adapter kit, mounted on Bosh and was OK, butt still don’t know how move only the z axis motor. In Ground Control i try manually in z axis button but suddenly move the R motor and a bit the z axis and stop. Give me a length chains error and arduino start blinking. I saw in one youtube bosh 1200 video the z axis ajusted by motor.
That should not happen, probably interference. Are the cables tied together somewhere?
So, if i connect and test the motors all PASS on test. If i go direct on z axis button and press (relative - lower) give a error: The sled not keeping up its expected position and has halted. Click on stop button to clear the alarm. And my arduino only works again after restart.
I think this is a calibration issue. Basically if the machine thinks the motors are zero distance apart or something like that it will not be able to compute how to move.
Yes,i dont mount the frame yet. I only mount the Bosch 1200 with this guide help and i need know now how move the z axis to stuck in bosh holes. Sorry for my bad English, and sorry im a newbie in Maslow construction, mi kit arrived yesterday.
Dag83, you can show how to attach the bosh on ring system sled, please?
Next week i think that beginning mount the frame.
Unus, please how you toked out the collet from Bosh one? i have one 6mm and wanna chose 8mm.
I just kinda measured it, i guess, has been a long time.
The collets you just order from bosch, the screw part and the clamping part are connected. I have the 6mm, 8mm and 1/4"
@Dag83 : Thank you very much for this tutorial! This is the best material on the net at the time of this writing that I was able to find on how to disassemble POF 1200. I came here after I read a material on how to make a router lift inside one of the legs that I read at https://www.1-2-do.com/projekt/Modifkation-POF-1200-AE-fuer-Tischeinbau/bauanleitung-zum-selber-bauen/4002087 and seen its associated youtube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHEt7prG1eo
I was able to disassemble it successfully and clear all that was in the path of installing a threaded rod that I’ll use as router lift, through the leg.
I managed to chip (1x1mm on the corner) one of the coal/carbon brushes when I tried to pry it out using a flat-head screwdriver. The second brush I did not chip because I extracted it by gently rocking it back and forth without prying it with something. In fact what @RavenWall was saying ( “… popped out when I carefully removed the body” ) makes sense. Removing the upper body will set the carbon brushes loose, possibly without chipping. By loose I mean just the coal part. The screwed fixture needs unscrewing separately.
All in all very good informaton, thank you very much!
I was selling these kit for a while and i got tired of the “how do i do this part” questions, so i tried to make it as detailed as possible.
Wierd that Bosch has a guide to take apart their roiter on their site, but it is a good idea for a router table, so maybe next time they are in promo i’ll pick up another router
Well I guess this guide (which doesn’t just show taking it apart but also modifying the router to have lift control from the table top) is supplied by their community and it’s not official support…
Did you make a hole in your wall to fit the top beam?
No man, jajaja its just a mirror.
