Spindle Upgrade - Reuse of existing mounting sleeve

Quick Question for anyone who has done a spindle upgrade, I was thinking of a 65mm spindle, does either the Standard Dewalt mount tighten down to that diameter, or inserting the Makita adapter get you to 65mm ? I can easily get a generic 65 mm mount but that requires modifications because most are wider & higher than the existing, then have to tweak my Suckit system as well.

Thanks in advance - Jeff

The stock mount is 69mm in diameter. The adapter reduces it to 65mm in diameter.

Thanks, appreciate the info, will order an adapter and try that 1st vs using a generic mount.

Alternately, one can easily fashion an adapter out of a piece of suitable aluminum tubing — 70mm 2mm wall thickness should work well — the equivalent Imperial tubing is a bit shy on wall thickness but will work if one doesn’t worry about how much one has to bend the stock mount.
