Makita RT0701 / RT0700 Tool Holder and Cord Guide for MPCNC
This tool holder is to mount the Makita RT070X compact trim router to the standard mounting plate of the popular Allted MPCNC. I looked through several existing mounts for these Makita routers and then designed this mount with some of what I saw to be the best features and few additional tweaks I thought would make it work best.
Features:
- Designed to mount very close to the gantry for rigidity
- Minimal loss of X/Y range
- Easy access to the locking button for tool changes
- Router airflow directed away from work
- Integrated dust collection option
- Accepts standard 1-1/4" vacuum hose (31.75mm)
- Magnetically attached dust plate
- Standard mount options to quickly attach pens or lasers without full tool mount change
Parts Required
- 6-32 screws and locking nuts
- 1mmx10mm magnets ( I am only using 4 top / 4 bottom standard refrigerator magnets but the design will accept more)
- 20 gauge or heavier vinyl for dust plate (Note I trimmed the vinyl shorter than it shows in the picture)
- 4-40 screws to attach vinyl directly into the dust plate holes
