Just wanted to thank everyone who lended their thoughts to My router issues last week. The dewalt is still going, and I got My feed worked out where they are holding a good profile again. The limit switch I setup also worked out well. Nice to have alittle added protection just in case I'm away from the lathe too long while making a pass on It. It's also nice that I can turn all the way down to final size shafts, without standing there making a human steadyrest out of Myself
Also want to Thanks Dave, Who was kind enough to rush me a set of new bearings for the porter. I'm happy to say that installing those went well, so now I have two good running routers.
Right now I'm using one with a new bit in the collet for finish turns, and one with a used bit that i'm doing ruff passes with. nice to just unbolt one and bolt the other up, instead of fighting with changing bits everytime.
I thought I May set one up fixed position for slot cutting billet, but now I'm thinking another router would be nice for that
