There is a european version of the dewalt611. The name has slipped my mind but I`m sure someone else will drop it here in time.
Alternatively, check out the Makita rt0700c router. Works like a charm for me.
It can be used with the dewalt611 mount and a couple 3d printed spacers.
Also, John Scherer can set you up with a custom mount for the makita router. Check the threads below.
Best of luck, hope to see you posting some assembly pictures later!
I designed and printed ring spacers for makita to fit nicely on 611 mounting. Good thing is the makita is smaller so a simple ring will solve it.
The ring spacer is two part. The lower also has some air deflector so air wont go directly to the materials being cut.

I’m considering a small run of a Makita RT0701 spindle mount and wondering if there is others who might be interested. The design is not complete yet but as soon as it is, I’ll get a quote for machining and have a better idea on price. These would be made from 1/2" aluminum tool plate and very strong. I have no idea on costs but I’m hoping to keep them around $40. But until I know more, that’s just a SWAG.
I you think you might be interested, fill out the forum here
Hi,
Does anyone have a source for a 1/8" collet/adapter thingy for use with a Makita RT0700CX5J?
The standard machine comes with a 6mm collet but I am having a hard time finding something for it to enable using 1/8" router bits. Elaire Corp claims their MRP-1250 does not fit my makita. http://www.elairecorp.com/makitaroutercollets.html
Any tips would much appreciated.
