At this stage, it’s a good idea to grab the router you’ll be using with your machine. We’ll show these steps using the
Makita RT0700 / RT0701 trim router that we recommend (pictured). Also, grab the motor wires from the motor
box while you’re at it.
Note: when using the Makita RT0700 / RT0701 it’ll come with a base attached. Remove this as you’ll just need
the main router body for the CNC.
Place the router nearly all the way in the mount (pictured). You can adjust the height later depending on your
setup. For instance you can lower it all the way down in the mount if you’re using tiny cutting tools on thin
material or further up if you’re using longer cutting tools on 3-4” thick material.
It’s also best to face your router power cable towards the left side (pictured) and rotated slightly backward to
provide good space for the cable and since the dust shoe requires some space on the right side. Check this angle
by turning the Z-axis lead screw by hand till it’s upper limit - the blue part of the router body shouldn’t collide with
the Z-axis motor mount at any point.
To mount your router, simply loosen off the two front bolts on the router mount until you can fit the router into
it, then tighten back up to secure it. We recommend going back and forth between the two bolts to keep equal
clamping force; and make sure not to over-tighten them.
Use M5 Allen Key
This position is also ideal for accessing the 4 bolts holding in the router mount from behind (through the X-gantry)
if you want to swap the mount out or are thinking of performing some tramming in the future. Even once the drag
chain is here you can lift it out of the way, just be mindful not to damage the aluminum rail edge with the Allen key.
