Comparing some routers to mount on my OX.
I found this light 710W Makita a reasonable price, variable speed. do you have any recommendation on it, good or no go ?
as well any idea on how to control the speed from smoothieboard? (how to connect it)
Aliexpress (Tachometer)$20+ / SuperPid v2 $175 / VFD w/ModBus $300+/-?, pick one of these option for speed management/control.
@Matt_Wils any info or pointer about the tachometer, how to connect it to Smoothie and how to control the speed of the router in such a setup ? Thank you in advance
Tach, is just a handheld item. Point at your rotating item then push button.
@Matt_Wils OK, didn’t understood, but of course for the simplest setup… Thought you were suggesting some kind of feedback loop with a tachometer reading the speed of the spindle
@Jeremie_Tarot SuperPIDv2 has those capabilities.
As it’s just for hobby use, I went for this Makita (not 1.5Kw water spindle), but also buy a plasma cutter http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222124758611?_trksid=p2060353.m2763.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
