Workbee CNC RT0701C Holder (with 2.5" Vacuum Holder)

thingiverse

This is a 3D printable/CNC machineable clamp designed to secure a Makita RT0701C router onto a Workbee CNC or any 2080 aluminum extrusion. If you choose to use CNC for producing the upper clamp, you'll also need to acquire some 90-degree Angle Connectors from the Workbee open source repository. I would have preferred printing them with 50% infill over using wood, but I may try cutting them out of aluminum eventually. To attach the clamp to the extrusion, M5 screws and T-Slot nuts are required. The lower part serves as a stabilizer, ensuring the router is properly aligned, and a holder for a 2.5" vacuum hose. A dust shoe was not added, resulting in a roughly 50% effective vacuum system. If you want a more efficient solution, consider adding a 3D-printable flow redirection pipe and a device to redirect the airstream of the router itself. However, I prefer this simple design, which allows for easy detachment of the vacuum hose.
