Here are the first two parts of the router mount. it is made of 1" thick aluminum. The Rotozip as a large mounting area near the head and is around 1.7" dia. I bored the hole on my little Southbend 10K and trued the sides of the peice on my 10" shaper. I was not going to use my mill and just use the lathe and shaper but it takes much to long so in the mill it went (for the slots and back angle cut). The Rotozip fits so tight in the mount that I could probably use it without the screw being tightened if I took it slow. It will bolt to aother 1" block that bolts to the Z axis face plate. It should be strong enough for a rotozip. I would use stronger side plates if it were for a high HP router but these are 1/4" thick cut out of a peice of Al box material that I found at the scrap dealer. |
