Nice. I set up my DWP611 today, no pics yet but I bought v-carve desktop and ran a couple test cuts, the combo is leaps and bounds beyond the stock spindle.

Got the time down to 8 minutes. I has such a happy now.

Very clean cuts i see there, Congrats!!! im still having slight issues getting my spindle completely square to get those results but i believe my problem is when i tapped the makerslide for the z axis i didnt get the screws in straight causing the whole spindle to naturally lean towards on direction… but may i ask how long you took to make sure you machine was completely square and calibrated?

While drilling the stiffening mod I took a day to make sure I had it set and ready. After that putting the dewalt on. It only took an hour or so to check. Everything lined up really well.
