The DeWalt and Makita routers that are recommended for the Shapeoko CNC bed do not appear to be available now. Any suggestions? Help would be appreciated as I wish to buy a Shapeoko CNC when they are next available in UK
Hey @Tacitus
If you live somewhere that 100VAC mains power is not the norm, then you will need to source a 220VAC version. Trim routers that we know work with the default Shapeoko mount are: Dewalt D26200 Trim router, found here on amazon.co.uk The machine now ships with a 65mm adapter ring which works well with a Makita RT0701. Please note that trim routers come with a dizzying array of accessories, most of which do not apply to use with a CNC, and conscientious research and shopping may yield a better price.
