Since dewalt611 cannot be purchased in China, I chose Dongcheng router, which is the most common and easily available in China.It only costs $25.
The top cover was redesigned to have side cable outlet, and the PCB bracket was mixed to match the top cover.
and the casing was 3d printed to reach 69mm diameter。
Also we’ve been loosely keeping track of where each one gets sent and we get excited whenever there is a new country. We were just talking about how it was sad that there were none in all of China yet so it’s exciting to see one there! Great work!
Can you share more information about how this was done? I think that many other folks could benefit from this
I admire how you creatively solved the router issue.
Can you help with where to purchase a redesigned Dongcheng router with side cable outlet.? I am expecting my M4 soon
I live in Nigeria and dewalt router is not within reach. I am also new to cnc work.
OP had to modify their router by making a replacement for the upper housing.
I’d second prioritizing getting a router with the cable going in the desired direction and with the same circumference (or slightly smaller) as the Dewalt the Maslow was designed for. If you can’t get the exact size, there are a few ways to resolve that (one being 3d printing a sleeve) as long as it’s smaller rather than larger.
I am not sure if Dongcheng router is available in Nigeria, if it is available, then you can download the side outlet top cover I created and use 3D printing to make it. It can be replaced simply by removing a few screws.
