deal alert on PC7518... and MW 5625

[salewis]

Woodcraft has the PC 7518 motor only on sale for around $260US.

In case anyone is interested....

Grizzly also has the Milwaukee 5626-20 with the base for $259.95 if you want to go that way.

Stan, was that deal on the 7518 online or at your local store?

Note>
My MM #5 used the PC 7518 with great success. Be mindful that this is a very LOUD router. There are many other similar router choices with a MUCH lower db rating....just saying ear protection is a requirement, not a suggestion with this router.


Milwaukee is nice and quiet...just ask Nils.

yeah, I'm glad I'm running a puny m12vc (hitachi).

It was online...

To see the sale price you have to click on the PC link and add it to the checkout, they do not show the sale price till the end.

Ok I'll hijack my own thread, but is there anyone who has a mounting bracket (other than k2cnc) that would mount this beast to the MM? (or the mw)?

[domino11]

I ordered the K2CNC bracket for my MW5625, very nicely made. I believe Sean R used a K2 on his PC mount for MM#5 with good results as well.

[smreish]

Yep,
Used the K2 cnc mount. The only challenge I had with the mount is the 6 little holes that let you bolt to the z - slide.
On #5, I added 6 little .375 spacers on the 6-32 mounting holes to clear the v-bearings.

Note that some others have "chamfered" the edges of the mount, I was concerned that trimming part of the support corners would compromise the mount.

Additionally, the K2 mount has a 12mm (i think) hole in the front of the mount for adding accessories. I used this for a 12mm laser body and used that as an alignment mount - others use it for dust foot mounting.
