Re: DeWalt Transmission questions

Attached is a drawing of what we were planning. This should eliminate drilling the sun gear completely, but we will have to push the CIM back by the height of the sun/carrier.
We did some rough calculations, and it seems that even with the CIM being slower, leaving the first stage in would mostly eliminate the need for a large external sprocket ratio. Was it simply for speed that the first stage was taken out, or are there other problems?
