Re: signs
did you get the 129.00 one. an did you have to get the spacer i use 3 inch endmills
Re: signs
Glad to hear you got it working.
I bought the 3" starter unit. There is room with the router down all the way to move the dust up and down but the 2" and the spacer would give you 1-1/2" of play without moving the dust plate. There is only one screw so for now I can loosen it vs another $100.00
It gets 99% of the dust, if I moved it up and down more it would be 100% ( I have a 4" collector not a shop vac)

Re: signs
I'd like to jump in with a similar, but different issue. I have a new Shark Pro Plus HD also. The problem I am having when carving signs is that if I setup two separate text blocks, with differing sizes, the smaller of the two doesn't want to carve deep enough. Both are set to use the 90 degree V bit at a depth of .25 inches. I am not totally surprised that the depth is being adjusted to a shallower depth since the letters are smaller. However, no matter what depth I select, it won't go any deeper. I tried just about everything I could think of. Any ideas?
Re: signs
