Description

Designed to bring the CG of the spindle/carriage tighter to the X Axis by moving the DW611 as close as possible to the carriage without worry of collision. This will decrease the amount of leverage that movement in the Y direction transmits to the X axis rails, minimizing deflection of the cutter. It is compatible with both the belt driven Nema23 Acme Z upgrade as well as the stock Z axis configuration. For those looking for a complete spindle mount and dust collection solution, my bolt on DW611 Dust collector plate is also compatible with both Z axis configurations when used with this spindle mount. Requires: 4 - M5x15mm Cap head bolts,3 - M5x35mm Cap head bolts, 6 - M5 washers, 3 - M5 Nuts, 1 - Universal Spindle mount kit

Hey there, I'm just trying to put the spindle in right now. How is this supposed to work? I have the Z carriage bottomed out, but the DW611 is still too tall to fit underneath the stepper motor bracket...

Can I use the bolts that came with the universal mount to mount this..mount?

I believe you can use 12mm to 18mm bolts. I recall that the bolts used were from the kit
