Re: White Paper Discuss: Nothing But Dewalts

To answer above, it was fairly reliable last year, with no major failures. The unreliable part was piano wire was very hard to work with and we ended up using a ball link. We decided not to shift to all 3, just using 2, as the servo did not have enough power alone. Pneumatics can be used, just may be harder to integrate. We used the extra CIM, and our friends, 1070, did not.
They had an effective time I think with the NBD setup, and so did we. Definitely hard to create an adapter mid-season without instructions to fit 2 CIMs into the NBD, but the BaneBot 2 CIM adapter helped. Mounting also was a difficulte problem to solve mid-season. Planning ahead can help reduce the stress if you guys go with 2CIMs into one DeWalt.

I have a question....

The newer model DC940 is now out, and its hard to find the model that the NBD was made for (DC980KA). Does anyone have the specs or a CAD of the new DeWalt drill tranny?
