What is your plan for machining the bottom mounting piece. From what I can see it looks kinda complex.

Did you draw the DeWalt gearbox? or did you download it from somewhere? if so, where?

Thanks

our CAD team had one already made, i just converted it to solidworks.

That is one pretty design.
How much does it way?

Re: pic: Evolution of a Gearbox: rev 7 exploded

how does your design go into the DeWalt? would you all be making/buying a shaft and a gear to fit inside? how much effort are you expecting on the DeWalt alone?

having 0 hands-on experience with the DeWalt gearbox I am somewhat clueless.

a 3/8 keyed shaft will enter the gearbox and interface with the 2nd planetary via a plate that slides over the carrier plate pins (like this) then that shaft will exit dewalt and be supported by two bearings. the gear attaches to that shaft.
