Kobalt router

My makita got hot the other day ~110°F close to your kobalt. Would love to find out that it wasn’t something wrong with my build or the extension cord I used.

My Makita gets that hot if it runs for like…1 minute.

Tool change

After a very short time marking those small holes on the YZ plate, the bit and router is already extremely hot. What are you guys using to do your tool changes? Is it just my router getting hot that quick? I measured it in the 120-140ºF range.

Makita Router

As I said, my router gets extremely hot. Like I’m concerned I’m risking deforming my PLA. I ran a surfacing job the other night and made the mistake of running it between 1 and 2 on the speed dial towards the end. Makita says don’t do that . The cooling fan doesn’t move fast enough at low speeds, so afterwards I measured the temps north of 150ºF.
