Makita/Parkside/Katsu RT0700 Micrometer Support

Hello

here is my latest project, it's a universal trim router base with micrometric adjustment

I created the model inspired by the DeWalt trim router, where by turning the top part, you can raise or lower the cutter

It was quite a complicated project, I did dozens of tests, but in the end, I got the result I was hoping for. I hope you appreciate it

Some accessories are needed, nothing specific, but I'll list them here

4 M3*6 screws

1 M3*20 screw

1 M4*25 screw

1 M4*8 threaded insert

3 M3*5.7 threaded inserts

I usually use these kits in my projects

M4 Screws, Bolts and Nuts Set, 600 Pieces Nuts and Hex Head Screws, Screws, Bolts and Allen Head Washers, Black : Amazon.it: DIY

I'm sharing them only to make it easier for anyone who wants to recreate my project; I have no affiliation whatsoever

List of tested models: Makita, Parkside, Katsu

This is the exploded view of the entire project

Assembly, with the exception of the parts where threaded inserts are placed, is all interlocking. Be careful, they have a tolerance play, but once connected, it will be very complicated to separate them. Additionally, the parts that rotate might be a bit stiff at first; there's no need to oil anything, just rotate them a bit, and they will gradually loosen up

Be careful that if you use PLA, friction causes heat, and you risk fusing the pieces, so proceed with great patience

The ring part is made with TPU and PLA. They are two separate parts that are simply joined together

The tool head consists of 3 parts; pay attention to the white rod to be inserted inside (in the image, it is inside the red body). It only serves to prevent the router body from getting damaged when tightening the retaining screw; you can also choose not to use it

For this project, I create multiple print profiles because I usually differentiate the color of parts that are related to adjustment systems, and although our printers are multi-color, there would be too much material waste to print everything together. In any case, you are free to reorganize the print as you prefer

This model is for Makita, and it naturally fits all machines that have the same body. If you have a machine with a different body, let me know the diameter, and I will provide you with the necessary size support

Soon, I will publish an adapter to use the base of my project with Festool guides
