Re: how to mount dewalt 3hp plunge router on legacy 600exl
LOOKS GOOD Dave! One work of advice buy a quick release chuck for your router. The eliminator chuck or muscle chuck are both a huge advantage over the old compression stile router chucks.(the one that comes with your router.) http://www.rockler.com/quick-change-musclechucktrade-musclechuck ., http://www.amazon.com/The-Eliminator-Quick-Change-Chuck/dp/B0007OTTJM and while we are on the topic buy both the 14 and 3/8 adapters. you will find these little gems very handy. http://www.rockler.com/1-4-collet-reducer-for-musclechuck-quick-change-router-chuck?sid=v9100gclid=CJPL-5_8u8QCFYI6gQodRRQAHQ http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search- C.A.G. - Original Message - From: Dave dchru...@gmail.com To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, March 22, 2015 1:44:47 AM Subject: Re: how to mount dewalt 3hp plunge router on legacy 600exl i got the dewalt router mounted.

I should post pictures of the 11' x 14' bookshelf soon. Unit installed but I just have to finish the finish on the library ladder and slide on the rail.

RE: how to mount dewalt 3hp plunge router on legacy 600exl
I don’t have a dewalt plunge router but I do have a triton plunge router When mounting my routers I use the thin plastic bottom plate of the router (its usually is only held on by a couple of small screws), as a template to mark any holes I have to drill in the mill .that way too I can measure all round to get it centre in the legacy cross slide hole Bill From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com [mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Dave Chrusciel Sent: Tuesday, 17 February 2015 6:57 PM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: how to mount dewalt 3hp plunge router on legacy 600exl i have a legacy 600exl and i know it is designed to use the pc router. i have a new 3hp dewalt with 3 mounting holes. i will probably have to drill some holes to mount the dewalt router, any suggestions on how to mount it so it is centered. does anyone have a legacy ornamental mill with a dewalt plunge router. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Legacy Ornamental Mills group.

Re: how to mount dewalt 3hp plunge router on legacy 600exl
Hi Dave A simple way to get it centred if you have access to a wood lathe or metal for that matter is to turn a disk the size of the Legacy router mounting plate cut out and on that same piece of material and on the same centre line turn another disk to match the inner diameter of your DeWalt black plastic base, I assume it is a DW 625, and then put one disk into the Legacy router mounting plate cut out and the other end in the DeWalt plate. Every thing is now centred and all you have to do is drill the three holes, WARNING make sure DeWalt fits in the router mounting plate with out fowling any other parts. This solution is known to work and I still have the template blank in my workshop as DeWalt 625 and Trend T-9 are very popular in Europe. This was not my idea but of one of my customers who is now a good friend as he bought enough product from me, well that’s what he reckons.

Re: how to mount dewalt 3hp plunge router on legacy 600exl
Hello Dave (and everyone else here.) ;-) ( Just got home form work.) I used a slightly different method for mounting my router all so many years ago. Like Roger I cut out a plate the same size as my Legacy's carriage base plate., but I used Plexiglas glass for the template, I first marked the center of the plate, Then I placed the Plexiglas. over the bottom of the router plastic plate and marked the glass, and then I drilled my holes in the Plexiglas. all that I need to do was center the Plexiglas plate onto the alum. then drill through the alum... (one note, I missed up on my first attempt, I did not mark the p. plate top, bottom, front... When I fist tried i flipped the plate over, or something, because two holes did not match up... So live and learn, Attachen to details sometimes matter.) ;-) On the good side, if you make a mistake, No One else is going to ever know, (that is unless you tell them.) ;-) C.A.G. - Original Message - From: Roger P rhp...@gmail.com To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2015 6:27:44 PM Subject: Re: how to mount dewalt 3hp plunge router on legacy 600exl Hi Dave A simple way to get it centred if you have access to a wood lathe or metal for that matter is to turn a disk the size of the Legacy router mounting plate cut out and on that same piece of material and on the same centre line turn another disk to match the inner diameter of your DeWalt black plastic base, I assume it is a DW 625, and then put one disk into the Legacy router mounting plate cut out and the other end in the DeWalt plate.

RE: how to mount dewalt 3hp plunge router on legacy 600exl
Man I did mine totally different I set the cross slide on zero sat the router on with a centre point mounted where the bit goes then put a Morse centre point in the headstock slid the saddle along and lined up the 2 points up so it was dead centre then scribed round the router base and marked 2 spots one on the router plastic base and one on the saddle then removed the plastic base and placed it back on the mill without the router lining up the marks and the scribe and marked my drill holes . I did it this way just in case the hole in the saddle was not centred with the headstock when it was set on zero otherwise I might have had to move the ruler tape in the mill.
