Sorry my mistake I forgot to mention rpms I just know to slow the big ones down in fact I always start on the slowest speed of my router whatever bit I put in then work the speed up to what I think it needs and any bit over 2 inches i don’t use the XX those big bits especially like 3inch dia is impossible to use with the XX its just too dangerous. And yes your right about checking run out on bits as well checking both for run out is a good idea

A question - really meant as a point of safety/info for those that may not know it: When you installed a "large diameter" bit into the Xtreme Xtension(XX) and got the vibrations - did you REMEMBER TO DIAL DOWN THE RPMs? If not, that - combined with the "extended" shaft and larger diameter of the bit - can all work together to create the vibration. I hear you as regards runout on the XX. Keep in mind too, that router bits have been known to be (or get) slightly less than perfect when it comes to runout/balance. So what I'm saying is the XX may not always be the culprit - it may be a combination of factors. So check everything if you have vibrations - to include ensuring you are not running the bit past the manufacturer's maximum recommended speed. At previous "Woodworking Shows", Woodline (one of the catalog/on-line company booths) used to give out a nice adhesive backed chart that had recommended max & min speeds listed for various router bits - based upon their size. Folks may find that chart helpful for bits that they have but don't know the brand. Next time you order from them (www.woodline.com) ask if they have any and if they'd include one in your order. G'day!

Now as the Xtreme Xtension was originally built for me to solve a problem I had in the UK market I know that is a good price. By the way there is no E on the front of Xtreme or Xtension, it is reserved for when you have bought one and you go Eeeee it works like they said!

I just received the latest Sale ad - where one of the "On Sale" items is the "ROUTER TECHNOLOGIES EXTREME EXTENSION" that several folks use with their LOM. The price seems to be a fairly good deal. Check this out: http://www.woodpeck.com/eclubspecials.html (Note: I do not work for them nor do I have any vested interest/relationship with them. All I know is that Woodpeckers makes high quality products - right here in America - NOT China!) Enjoy. Mac "Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who did not."
