Clamping Tip
This is not nessarily a tip. It's more of an observation. As you all know I use wood clamps. The main reason I use wood clamps is so I dont destroy a $60 bit if I hit one. Beirlive me, at some point you will hit a clamp with a bit. I have a rule of thumb when using wood clamps. If I am using a 1/8&q...

Machine Rapid Tip (Observation)
While The KRMx01 can travle at speeds of almost 600IPM once it has been broken in. The KRMx02 can travel even faster. I have had the LAB machine up to speeds of 2000IPM. While its fun to push our machines to the limmits, here are a few observations. I run my KRMx01 at rapids less than 400 and my KRM...

Router Bit Tip #1

I like using the little tackle box containers you get at Wal-Mart for a couple bucks. Let me clarify MDF b...

I had the drawings and did not find them that usefull. Honastly Its a matter of ripping out out the electronics. And identifiing the two leads going to the brushes. On the Makita its pretty easy. Its the two wires sticking up out of the guts of the router. A more difficult task is to get the Super P...

Clean Edges (TIP)
Oftain when CNCing a part you will get fibers on the edges of the cut. I found the fastest way to clean them up is to take a small palm sander with 120-180 grit paper and to sand the surface whil it is still attached to the waste. (tabs still intact) Just a quick sanding of 10-20 seconds will make t...
