Thanks for the video. I just bought and XCarve with a Dewalt 611 router and was scratching my head about how to do proper spindle control. Research led me to buy a SuperPID. Your enclosure is awesome. I will be making one with similar functionality but being able to see how you wired everything makes things much clearer.
nice video thanks for sharing, the cable problem can always be solved once you are done adding things up to your machine (pimping it up) with braided cable sleeve...if you open complete the router perhaps you can route it inside of the yellow plastic case, inside of the rubber power sleeve...
Hi, we just ordered our Shapey and we already have two problems. We need to use bits that have 6mm shafts and the stock machine won't take them. Our solution to this is to upgrade with a Dewalt router - same as you. To do that we need some brackets - do you have a steer for us on that? The second problem is we need spindle speeds no faster than 8000 rpm. The DW router does not go that slow. Do we need a Superpid? OK last question, why did *you* buy a SuperPID? Sorry to bomb you.
Very cool vid. At first I thought it was just going to be an interesting pimp out vid, but I can definitely see the added flexibility and control it gives. Not clear on what applications need slower feed though. Examples? Plastics maybe?
thanks for sharing this. may have to upgrade to this one day. I noticed you are also using LinuxCNC... didn't think that was possible on the shapeoko. Are you using GRBL?
Nope, I'm not using GRBL. My build log has probably the most complete documentation of my set up. It can be found at www.shapeoko.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2344
PEE - EYE - DEE also clean install but ideally keeping the sensor far away from dust and chips etc. the top of the shaft the best place for it.... know its an old video so maybe u have gone a different way but its the only video i sawEYE
It's for controlling the speed of the spindle. The cool thing about it is that it is closed loop, so it doesn't slow down, or stop, when running at slow RPMs.

Unless he works in Broadcast Journalism, or you are preparing to buy out Rupert Murdoch's media empire, stop watching, or stop bitching... ...Either way, say thank you to the channel host for providing you free, non-judgmental content. #AgeOfTheOverlyEntitled
+TheRangeControl This is one of those things that people often don't even realize about themselves but yet it makes such a big difference in the quality of the communication. I don't think being an amateur is a pass for not wanting to continuously improve the art. If I gave Mr. Peters just a small amount of motivation to improve himself my job is done here.
Awesome. I knew you'd get around to this sooner or later. SuperPID is going straight on my Christmas list. Thanks for the video!

That's definitely a good option to consider. Thanks for the advice.
Very cool addition!

Would have been nice to see if the rpm stayed steady under load.

What exaxctly is this for?

Do you by any chance have a link as to where this kit can be purchased?
+TheRangeControl Right here: www.vhipe.com/product-private/SuperPID-Home.htm
Thanks :-D
I have my notepad ready to learn, sir. :-D
Did you really only pay $55 for it? The cheapest I found is over $150!
No, it wasn't $55. Where did I say that?
PLEASE, stop saying basically every 2 seconds.
Yeah I hate it too. It's one of those things I do subconsciously, but I'll try to do better. Hope your ears don't bleed too much.
