WorkBee Z1+ Router Mount

Ooznest has made the router clamp a nifty interchangeable element of the mount.

There are three router clamp sizes to choose from for your mount. Each has been made to fit the router/spindle exactly, no plastic adaptors are needed!

The Original WorkBee Router Mount comes with a single router clamp of your chosen size. You can then purchase additional router clamps to fit other router/spindles

A well-clamped router is key to a well-performing CNC Machine, the router clamps consist of a cylindrical hole with a single slit, a M8 Bolt clamps across this slit to provide the needed pressure to keep the router/spindle secure.

The exact sizing of the clamp, and symmetrical clamping method guarantees the router/spindle is clamped perfectly axial in the mount.

The Original WorkBee Router Mount is assembled perpendicular and axial, but it also needs to be attached to the Original WorkBee in the correct perpendicular position.

This is where the included Height Reference tool comes in. It is designed to correctly position the Router Mount on the Z-Axis at the correct height, maximising the workable depth of the Original WorkBee CNC Machine.

The height reference tools ‘L’ shape references the bottom of the Z-Axis ensuring the Router Mount is perpendicular to the Original WorkBee’s Z-Axis.

It is two sided:

– One side for positioning a Dewalt/Katsu/Makita Compact router

– One side for positioning a Mafell/Kress plus other 43mm spindles.

Once the Router Mount is in the correct position, the Height Reference Tool is then removed. It has a precise laser etched rule, handy for measuring endmill stick-out.

The three available sizes of the Original WorkBee Router Mount are compatible with the following routers/spindles:

Or any other routers/spindles of the same diameters.

It is also compatible with the KentCNC Dust Shoe. Dust Shoe adaptors are included with the 65mm and 43mm versions.

The Original WorkBee Router mount has the same compatibilities as the Openbuilds router mount so it can be used with other accessories such as the LED Light Ring or Laser Attachments.
