Since a year ago I have moved and have more space. Hence I want to upgrade my old MPCNC to the new LowRider V3. Seems like a lot of the electronics can be re-used and some of the hardware which is excellent.
However, I have two initial questions that I have not found any answers to:
My plan is to make this a full sheet machine which seems to require one 2756 mm tube. So far I have only been able to find 2 m tubes in Sweden. I’m guessing it is not recommended to butt joint two tube sections, or does this work? Any other creative solutions?
I have not found anyone using the same spindle (AMB 1050 FME-P) as I use, for the LR3. Does anyone have a finished tool mount for this one, like there is for the MPCNC? Or does anyone know that it will work in theory at least? Any reasons not to use this spindle on the LR3?
Hi all, same here about the tool mount for kress router ! The blank file looks great but I cannot really think of a straightforward way of redoing the whole vacuum adapter part and so on…
To both: what is the diameter of the AMB 1050 FME-P spindle and diameter of the kress router?
The Makita RT0701 router uses a 65mm router mount. If your spindle/router is close, either over or under, there is a good chance a remix of the existing mounts could help. In cases where the diameter is less, then printed spacer rings might be an option.
Actually the issue is that the on off button is right where one of the top holder is, and the cooling vents are also blocked by either existing mounts.
I’ve started reworking the blank CAD to accommodate it.
Hi Viktor, I slapped together a quick and dirty mount for the Kress 800 which is pretty similar to the 1050 I reckon LowRider3_toolMountKress800_.zip (263.7 KB)
