MakerMade CNC Router

This router is much quieter than my old craftsman one and makes it much easier to maintain depth consistency when swapping out bits. My only drawback is that the collet is a little difficult to remove when swapping bits since it is firmly seated when nut is tightened.

As described

ROUTER/SPINDLE

So far the spindle has worked as expected, hopefully it will outlast the Makita. I decided to take it easy on the spindle not worrying about chip load, I think that trying to get chip load to where I would like it is too hard on this type of spindle. So if my tool bits do not last as long I can live with that rather than pushing the spindle too hard. On the first few 1/2 hour runs I got a 25 degree F temperature rise, but as the bearings are seating themselves the temperature is dropping, I like the collet, sadly I gave a way a whole set of collets when I sold my smaller machine, oh well. Overall am pleased, delivery was excellent, packaging was a little light, the box had been dropped and the collet nut had come out through the box. Price was very good. I took out the Makita router that was installed and put it in a box as a back up machine. This will be my go to machine if it has a reasonable life span. Thank you, keep up the good work.

Excellent CNC router. You need to provide more information about how to use a collet for people who don't know about them. And I wish that you had a collet torque wrench on your site.

Great product!

Great

Great product. Prompt delivery. Zero complaints.

Have not used it yet

I got bogged down installing python2 and calling python3 etc. I'm going to start over with a new laptop soon.

Awesome upgrade

Impressive upgrade to my “off the shelf router “ with the machine collects I don’t have to over tighten to prevent bit slip, I also like the spindle lock it’s more robust then a plastic button found on most routers . As always with makermade it was shipped quickly and packaged nicely Can’t go wrong with it.
