This may create cooling issues, since the low-end machines are cooled by a fan on the motor shaft. If you want to go by the book you would run the low voltage LED and pot wires out of a separate hole and not place the 120VAC power wires in the cable track. Such variable speeds make it ideal for versatility. STEP 7 (optional): If you have an enclosure you can twist each set of wires using a drill after it exits the enclosure. You will need a DeWalt 611 spindle mount from Inventables to mount it, as the the DWP611 is a much larger … Where did you find it?

I like the subject option as well since it’s mostly free. The advantage of Super ID is being able to drop to 5000 rpms vs.16000 which allows more cutter options. Sorry to bring up such a old thread, But the led’s from the router are only two wires. The advantage of this mod is that it’s essentially free vs $150+ for SuperPID. To install you bypass much of the router electronics and install an optical sensor(as Mike mentioned above). The corded version’s is made of aluminum. It pretty much stays close to the speed you set it to even when under load. Remote RPM setting. This tool also features SHOCKS Active Vibration Control® technology from DEWALT which reduces vibration felt by the user. It has a voltage rating of 120 V and an amp rating of 7.0 amps. You can set the RPM to a known value. Closed loop should do a good job. No more 1-6 setting. This one starts from 16,000 to 27,000RPM. I just don’t really want to hack apart the D 611 I am using as it is “technically” not mine. I’m not sure but it may blow out the LED’s if you connect them with reverse polarity. This controller is not compatible with the 611 without taking it apart and modifying some wiring. What is Included (1) DeWALT DWP611 1.25 HP Max Torque Variable Speed Compact Router .
