  • I recently found out I could upgrade the Dewalt 611 I use on my Shapeoko CNC to make it a little easier to use. I purchased the CNC router upgrades from Precisionbits.com I hope this information is helpful to those of you using the 611 on your CNC. I was never a fan of the collet that came standard and when I found out there was a way to improve it with a Crown Collet from Precisebits.com I was on the internet placing an order. I am really happy with the upgraded Collet and Collet Nuts that I ordered. I was really pleased with the quality of the machining as well. Watch for my upcoming videos on the Workbee from Ooznest.com I plan on finishing that build over the next week or so and posting a video as well. Thanks for watching and your support. It means a lot.

    Wow, I don't know why I have never thought about not having to constantly probe the z-height. I came for the review of the collet, but now all of a sudden I have bits on my shopping list. Also, check your Amazon links in your description. There are 3 copies of the Amana bit set.

  • @richardfarwell6759
    @richardfarwell6759 5 лет назад +1

    Recommend you don't tighten a collet/collett nut without a bit in it; it can distort and damage the collet.
    I bought a three collet kit for my PC-7518, and it is really nice.
    I didn't realize the bit collars are fixed in place.

      Thanks for watching. There are definitely some guys that are doing amazing machining with the Shapeoko platform. I'd check out @vince.fab on Instagram for some idea of what all is possible. He's doing lots of custom engine parts. Also, Winston on the Carbide3D channel is doing a lot of aluminum machining. Precision Bits does carry bits for metal. I just took a look at their site and found this. www.precisebits.com/gateways/EndMillsHome.htm

    Do you just use the bigger 1/4 inch bits? Most of my bits are 1/8

      @ManCrafting  5 лет назад

      Hey John, I didn't focus on it in the video, but the kit came with 1/8" and 1/4" collets. They also make the bits with the precision collars in the 1/8 size as well.
