MDF and alu sandwich router

Well you could live dangerously like John suggests :naughty: If your pee is pure you won't be electrocuted!....take a chance :D

I was thinking just a piece of square bar bolted to the mounting with a hole down the centre and pass water through...voilà kiss principle cooler :idea: I have one drawn up in cad somewhere that got a little fancy.

I'm not sure of the internals of the Kress ie whether it's like a lot of routers and has the bearings mounted in rubber cups or if they're in metal for heat transfer....Bearings get hot and the comm takes a pounding (I have a router that I ran for 5 minutes and the comm is messed up...cheap crap) Way too much plastic in use on electric tools these days!

Would like to see a pic if you find your cad drawing:wave:

Possible to simplify a design I don't split my brackets.



I drill the side hole first and put a bolt and nut thru and tighten it up, then bore the 43mm hole.
Lastly I cut the head off the bolt so the stud with cutaway can move and clamp.
Just like a tailstock barrel clamp.

Saves a slitting or sawing operation, did I mention I was idle ?

Not noticed mine getting hot but it's only the 800w model, never run more that 6mm cutters so couldn't see the reason to go bigger
