Re: Dewalts Used Last year

We used two of them last year, with the CIM motors. They were rock solid and are still working great after several months of demos and student "practice" with the robot. I highly recommend them!! The plate that goes between the yellow drill housing and the CIM to mount the whole thing is very easy to machine, you can get by with a drill press and a bandsaw as long as you lay the holes out accurately. However, machining the press-fit hole for the motor shaft in the existing Dewalt gear is not something to try with limited machining capabilities. Just plan on sending them out to be EDM cut.

We never did set them up to shift, the drivers seem to like them in 2nd so we just leave them there.
