Hi,
I live in Europe and the DeWalt option listed in the parts list is not available here. I found these 4 alternatives on Amazon:

Bosch Professional GGS 5000L Straight Grinder 500 W 33.000 min-1

Makita GDO600 240V Die Grinder Range

600 W Straight Grinder Straight Grinder Grinder with Speed Control (I added a picture)

Everything is available on German Amazon
I do not have much experience in hardware(I am more of a programmer guy) so any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
after more digging I found this:

makita2
makita21627Ă—820 186 KB

for some reason, its 2x price on Amazon compared to my local hardware shop.
Is this OK?
Thank you in advance,
Tom

That last makita should work. Needs a 65mm mount.

Hi,
thank you for your response.
Yeah, I will go with the Makita since it is also available in my local hardware store making it easier to return.

I just looked into controller boards. I found these RAMPS:

and

Is it worth upgrading the drivers for 2x of a price difference?
Or should I invest into one of those Mini-Rambo boards?

While on a tight budget I not against spending a bit more for it to work nicely.
Thanks,

Are you ever going to use dual endstops?

I would like to

Then between the two, go ramps. Mini rambo doesn’t have enough drivers.

Thank you!
Is the upgrade worth it on the ramps(the better drivers)?

Not sure.

On my 3d printer I use cheap drivers (a4988) and I got some spares just in case… Never had any issues with them tho.

For MPCNC I got the recommended ones (DRV8825) to enable microstepping and I also have spares if any decides to die on me.

Full graphic LCD is not required but helps a bit.
(I have both for 3d printer and MPCNC)

Hi,
shoul I print the “Tool_Mount_F_4mm” or what do you mean by a 65mm mount?
Thank you in advance,
Tom

That router’s diameter is 65mm.
