Which Router To Order for 240 Volt Countries

Geez that is so darn expensive!

They are selling for $500 second hand, so it is what it is.

So for Europe Dewalt D26200 is best way to go? Only thing is to bend cord cable?

Yup! That is correct :grinning:

Hi, are there any news on an alternative PCB attachment? I have access to a 3D-Printer and can print some bracket.
The actual bracket looks a bit like a banana installed:

The grating on the top is obviously a lot smaller then on the us-version.

@bar I sent you some pictures a few months ago for reference. If I can help you by taking some measurements…

I’m working on a bridge that will attach to the top ring and then replace the base moulding which will essentially allow you to use any router as it won’t be attached.

As soon as I’ve tried a test print again I’ll share the STL on here

Let me check in with @RomanG and see what he says since we can’t actually get that router here in the US so I haven’t seen one in person.

Hey Markus, could you maybe snap a photo of your router exhaust from the top?
I want to check if it looks same as mine.

Hi Roman,

Sure! Here it comes!

Hi Roman, hi Bar,

if you snap of the lower claws of the PCB holder it fits nice and snug to the router. Only the outer claws warp the holder into that banana shape.

Here’s how mine looks for comparison. It’s quite similar but not exactly identical.

Excellent solution on removing the offending legs. It should be fine without those.


Yep, mine looks about the same.

Since you have a 3d Printer, are you able to draw in cad? After scrolling up in the thread, I wonder if you could design a new top to replace that one, and have the cord come out the side even if the top had to be a little taller so that you can have a nice bend in the cord, and not a hard bend that could break the wires.

I am not experienced enough to design this in cad. In fact I also don’t want to void the warranty of the router.
Next step is building a frame or print some anchors for the floor.

I’m probably missing something, but looking at this picture-

it seems to me that if the PCB were simply rotated anti-clockwise, the router’s power cord could simply come up vertically between the connections from the PCB.

Am I missing something? Is there some other critical alignment?

Nice Diagrams!

We would have to double check that all the wires that plug into the PCB can still reach in that orientation, but I think that should work great.

We could also use something like this to make the Maslow power cord also go up:

Note that this is not quite the right connector (we want the larger XT60), but we could make something that is the right one.
