Hi everyone,
With my LR3 getting to the point of needing a router to actually make it make things, i am looking at the option for a router to put in it.
I know it was designed for the Makita 700c or similar brands, that sorta hybrid trim router/ full size router sorta area. Hell people have even put a really big spindles.
So I was looking at a Makita, and I should have brought it when i brough everything else, not realizing it would take months and now I am looking at the bank account and the cost of the Makita.
Ok, first I will admit you are buying quality etc, and almost anything wont be as goo etc etc etc, i fully understand that, but what are you using on your LR3?
I have not used this VEVOR stuff, can anyone speak to quality?
(yes i know it wont be the same as the Makita)
So i guess the spindle+VFD does have the advantage of speed control via PWM, not sure if the SKR/ Marlin combination can do that, does anyone know?
Another question, would the 2.2kw spindle be the same power as the Makita router?
-=-=-=-=-
1 for the Makita
1 for the Dewalt
1 for the VEVOR spindle
I run the Vevor 1.5kw spindle in both my LR3 and Primo and they have done great for me. Hard to say on longevity yet as ive only had both machines built for a few months.
These are not available in Australia. They can be purchased with a bit of effort but are much more expensive than the Makita.
Someone can correct me technically, but I think the real difference between the Makita and the Clones is that the real one maintains the same power through its speed range, the clones drop in power with the drop in revs for reasons that are in some little black box.
I really like using a durable commercial tryin router. They come with a warranty. They have decent prices because they are made at scale. They have a company with a brand they care about, so they won’t lie on the spec page.
