DW611 is only 110v, so sadly it’s not an option. The idea would be to perminantly sink some M8s into the bottom plate and then mount (home made) standardized rings for the spindle/foam cutter/etc with nuts. I say rings but I’ve not started to sketch it out yet. The spindles are a bit larger than the 611 but I obviously don’t want to change the spacing of the tubes. I haven’t bought anything yet so all open to change.
Ok cool, it might come down to what I can get my hands on in Europe/oz. I like the idea of full digital control of the drivers, which leaves me with trinamics. Features like stealth chop seem meaningless in this use case. Also since I plan to run a raspberry pi as the main interface things like LCD and Web control aren’t of much use either.
Its a feature of bCNC, which I’ve been using at the local hackspace. It’s nothing super fancy or automated, basically you mount a camera on the x plate, use the router to drill a small hole somewhere and then jog to line up the camera to the hole. The software calculates the offset between the two. Then you can realign it to that point as required, and help to home the stock (or the machine if into the wasteboard.) I’m not sure of the accuracy level compared to limit switches is but for double sided machining it might be helpful.
