last of the photos...
photo #1...mounting rings in place...nothing special here
photo #2...router in place...heavy duty porter cable, variable speed with a
quick chuck...the router is now 3 3/4' further towards the front of the
machine due to the rotary table and two mounting plates added...and
widening the carriage was definitely a must, as you
can see...possibly toying with the idea of making it a bit wider and while
i am at it going taller as legacy did on the model 2000, for large diameter
work...if i did go taller, i can always make up for
it with the adjustments built into the mounting plates...will the added
inches of the router being away from the z axis vertical rails cause any
chatter in the cut or other problems?...only time will tell...but it is
exceptionally rigid and strong so my initial
guess is to say no...should there be any i might guess taking lighter cuts
would solve that problem...but the trade of is worth it, in my opinion, as
doing certain cuts with different bits that
will then produce a smooth finish requiring no sanding is worth any
adjustment necessary to the speed of getting a job done...long story short,
SANDING SUCKS! and eats up profits
photo #3...router tilted on a 45 degree angle...need to make a mod or two
to allow the router to drop down further...the extended router bits will
help here...or widening the carriage will also do the job...will wait and
let the machine make some money before
considering that modification
next up is setting up the long lead screw i had made and the lead screw
supports that pivot out of the way when the carriage reaches them...almost
done with that mod so pictures should be coming soon...i welcome any
comments and/or suggestions...thanks, joe biunno
