They're all pretty good. Few little hiccups here and there. The height adjustment on my DW625 (3HP) was upside down. Wouldn't hold he plunge down. Other than that, I'm pleased. I have the big D Handle for the 2.25HP as well.

That's an awesome idea with the router bits. I think i am going to have to steal that idea from you.

Notice I took the sleeves from the original factory packaging and inserted them into the block as well. Makes inserting and removal very smooth and they really hold the bits in well.

I used a caliper to measure and choose the exact drill bit for size. I can turn the block over and shake it and nothing moves.

I'm going to route out a pocket on the right for Allen keys and extra bearings to sit in. Maybe with a bit of foam glued in. I'm also considering a box lid of some sort. Maybe plexiglass as I've had an itch to ply around with it and make something.
