Description

The change is reversible. Fits DWE6411, DWE6423 and other variations.

The model has tight tolerances so you printer and filament should be well calibrated. Also it requires a bit of sanding or cutting to achieve a good fit. It's not possible to make a good fit part for injection molded tool frames - they vary a bit, so grab a sharp knife and a small file and make it fit perfectly.

BOM:

  • Festool replacement part # 489742 or # 489925 or whatever number you find it
  • Two M4 12mm bolts

Printing settings:

  • PETG
  • 0.2mm layer height (the model is optimized for this layer height)
  • 4 walls
  • 100% infill
  • Manual tree supports (please see photo of surfaces which needs to be painted/supported)

Installation instructions:

  • Disassemble the tool, disconnect and remove the cable
  • Dry fit the model, adjust it when needed to ensure that it fits snug but doesn't push the frame apart
  • Insert Festool part. Once you insert it you won't be able to easily take it out.
  • Screw the bolts, there are no threads in the model so the bolts will be tight
  • Trim the cables and crimp them if the cables don't fit well (for DWE6423 they were too long so I had to trim them)
  • Connect the cables
  • Screw in the connector
  • Assemble the rest of the tool
