I agree the original spindle on the 4040Pro is too weak. I use a 710W Katsu router (£44) in a Sainsmart collar (£24). It takes 1/4 shafted bits and runs at 6 speeds 13,000 to 33,000. It weights 1,341grams. Personally I think this is a great cheap upgrade. What does the Rotozip weigh? Great entertaining videos, thanks Tony.
Hi Thanks for the comment, I purchased mine second hand from facebook market place and there are lots on for sale. For my machine now its the go to spindle, but you must have the 3d printed part that I used. It wont be every bodies choice but for what I paid its fantastic but you need to purchase the set of extra collets.

Hi thanks for your comment I have a palm router and it's noisier and a little heavier than the rotozip. I found one the other day for £5 working
awesome video, what shop or online did you get it from the spindle, just got a 4040 reno! salute from uk 👍👍👍👍

Please can you send a link to the two 3D printed cradles you designed or tell me how to get them.
