omg guys. I know its been a while since I have posted. I have been working on 2x 8foot by 4foot signs for a local restaurant. In the process I have gone through 4 yes I said 4 quiet cut spindles. ALL FAILED. Honestly this is no fault of inventables since their customer service was more than stellar. Sam got me hooked up every time quick easy I WANT TO SAY THANKS. Anyways after this last spindle failed and screwed up everything I had been working on I said F it Lets do this right and get a DEWALT 611. Let me just say guys anyone using the quiet cut is only getting 10% of the XCarve experience. Not saying the quiet cut sucks or anything BUT IT SUCKS. This thing is not nearly as loud as I expected but here is the real kicker I went from .06 passes in mdf at 50-100 IPM to … DRUM ROLL … ANY DEPTH I FREAKING FEEL LIKE at 100 IPM. Now this is in MDF so dont get too excited but i just cut 100 letters out of a 30"x30" piece of .75 MDF at this setting … .5" Depth Per Pass at 50 IPM. This was a really REALLY detailed job too and ITS PERFECT. The moral of this story is GET A DEWALT 611 NOW!!! GET IT NOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!!!
YOU WONT BE SORRY
Thanks for listening to my rant but I am more excited than the first day I played with this machine.
Dang it, now I’m yelling even LOUDER for UPS to get their butts in gear and deliver my spindle mount! I’m at the end of my first quiet-cut spindle’s life, and I already had the 611 for use in the shop! Argh, I want it on my unit! My wife is griping because she has no signs to paint!
Thanks for the chuckle and the encouraging signs for my new upgrade, @JoeBerman!
Ain’t it awesome? I’ve been using mine as a hand-held router for general purpose use for quite a while. It’ll happily swing a decent-sized ogie bit or a large straight with no trouble at all, so with quarter-inch upsirals, that’s going to be the most over-powered thing ever!
Nice! i got a DW611 and the mount from inventables should come in the mail today. also ordered some 1/8" collet adapters from MLCS so i can still use all the small 1/8 bits. wish dewalt had 1/8 collets available
That’s what I’m trying to tell everyone for over a month now, people start thinking I’m working for Dewalt Company. No, I’m telling what I have, I have work horse on my X-Carve.
