Yah, I think they put Dewalt brushes in your machine.
I have yet to figure out why it is thought that the MCLS 9056 is the same as the Makita. At least it is not the same as my Makita RT0701. The specs don’t match and neither does the physical layout. Is there somewhere states they are the same?
The MLCS Rocky 30 seems to be the same as the Makita RT0701 — they even use a photo of a teal unit in some of their documentation — could that be it?
Manual: http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/smarthtml/graphics2/9056_Rocky_30_Manual.pdf
No load speed…………………………… 10,000 - 30,000 RPM
•Variable speed control dial (10,000 - 30,000 RPM) to match the speed to the application
AIUI, the only thing which might not match up is the hole layout on the mounting plate — what are you seeing that’s different?
I’d probably be willing to swap my Makita (very light use) for your MLCS if it’s in similar shape (I want a black one to match my machine).
In the Rocky manual the drawings as well as the manual photos appear to be the same as the Makita but the photos in all their ads are different. The variable speed control is in a different place and the HP is listed at only 1 not 1 1/4 as is the Makita. Which router are buyers receiving?
I have also seen a router similar to the Rocky ads at Menards. Think it is a Performax or something like that. I have looked at it and it is not the same as my Makita either.
For an easier solution
Been running on my machine for quite a while now with no issues at all
I came across this last week while looking for a 43mm mount.
The Makita RT0701 being 65mm around the base.
