can you measure the RPM's of a Router or drill press?

May not work well. Meter needs a clear shot of the spinning part and all but the reflective tape needs to be practically black for contrast. I could not get a good reading on an electric fan shaft nor when I tried to put the reflective tape on a blade to measure RPM

It picks up off a silver colored tape. So item can't be shiny. Darken the Chuck and you should be able to check rpm.
1659628
Yes. Make sure there is a difference in the reflectiveness between the tape and the spindle. It should work well.

drill press: yes, just put a sensor strip on the chucknot sure how you would apply a sensor strip on a router

On the tool itself, maximum rpm is printed as 1300, which is what I think is correct. The literature says 3000rpm. I compared speeds with the PS10, which is 600rpm max and the PS11. Looking at them both running next to each other, the PS11 is about twice the speed as the PS10. So 1300rpm is the more accurate max speed for the PS11. I bought the PS11 for drilling because of the faster speed. I can drill a pilot hole with the PS11 and use the PS10 to screw in the fastener. They work well for me using them in tandem. Both are fine tools.

I goggled "router table for Hitachi" and there is a lot of information there including how to build your own table. The router itself is outstanding, I use them in my CNC machine.

Yes this is a simple freq. (variable) drive. It will adjust the run speed of almost anything. Not just routers.

The sheet says 0-1,200/0-3,500 RPM : 0-56,000 bpm : 10A : 1,100 W : 120V Measuring the drill : About 15"x9"x3" and about 7 lbs. on the bathroom scale.

Yes. The fixed base has a micrometer adjustment, which is a vernier type adjustment knob that can be adjusted in readable increments of 1/64". When mounted under a router table the adjustment knob can be accessed and turned with a adjustment key (an allen wrench screw, wrench with handle included) through a hole in the table. Your particular table most probably won't have the hole pre-drilled, so you will have to drill the hole yourself, which shouldn't be a big deal. Personally, I don't use the above table adjustment, because I want to be able to read the depth graduations on the dial as I make height adjustments. When I mount my router onto the table using it's base I always position the adjustment dial toward the front so that I can read the adjustments as I make them. I saw the other answer to your question where the author mentioned that a router used in a table should be at least 3HP. I disagree with this comment unless you are doing professional work and are using the router continuously. I've have gotten consistently good results while using this router at less than full speed as designated for rail and stile bit sets that I use. If you would be cutting into a hard wood like oak, you may not want to try to make a full depth cut on the first pass. I prefer to may multiple cuts through the depth of the cut with a final one removing no more than 10-15% of the total material being removed. This ensures that by taking a small cut as the last cut that you minimize bit chatter, hang-up and breakout, and that your results are smooth and consistent.

Yes "rpm 9000 min" written on lable on the tool, works great, have a spare battery handy.

It has variable speed but bear in mind that the speed is controlled by the trigger. The closer you pull the trigger to the drill body, the faster the chuck will turn. However, If by "true", you mean is there a dial where you can set the exact speed ie. 300 rpm or 350 rpm then the answer is no. This feature is more likely found on rotary tools like Dremels, some drill presses and milling machines. I am not aware of any variable speed hand drills that have scales which would enable you to dial in exact speeds. If exact speed is a necessity, then you might want to research rotary tools, bench tools which have a dial that can be set or tools that have a digital display that tells you how fast the chuck is turning. Additionally, I don't know what materials you plan to drill. This drill's range is 0-550 rpm which may or may not be suitable for your intended purpose. I recommend that you study the numerous drill speed and feed guides available on the web to determine if this drill has the best speed range for your project or whether you need a drill with a higher rpm range. It may also be helpful to do a search of materials, material thicknesses, hole sizes, suggested bit lubricants and drill types to see what tradespeople and manufacturers recommended. You can easily ruin costly materials by drilling them at the wrong speed or quickly dull expensive drill bits by using the wrong bit for the material, exerting too much pressure on the bit or not using lubricant. Talk to people who have drilled the same or similar materials. Ask to see if they have any scrap that you can use for test purposes. There is no single drill suitable for all types of drilling. Br prepared to experiment before finally figuring out what works best for you.

Hi, I only use it to read and reset the error codes. I've not used it to measure anything in metric or English units.

I had one and returned it because it was totally inaccurate. I built my house and I know where the pipes are, it was showing PVC pipes in exterior walls that I KNOW are not present. I wouldn't spend any amount of money on this - and I'm a huge Dewalt fan.

I own the Bosch 1617ews model that I use for the jig but, any will work except the small trim routers! Any router that you can mount and center the bits and guide bushings will work!! BTW: the router you purchase MUST accept a 1/2 inch shaft bit! That is the only important part! Don't be afraid to ask any further questions

This torque wench is not designed to measure torque for counter clockwise rotation but will loosen most fasteners. A regular 1/2 inch ratchet will do for the task you mentioned. The torque wrench will measure torque on clockwise rotation.

I don't know, I will have to check the specifications. It it is on the tool I will respond again later.For drilling high RPM is ok, but I think you might want to drive screws a little slower, I will provide more later.Brad

Yes. As others have stated, the speed is controlled by the "trigger", the torque by the ring by the chuck. If you are drilling with a large Forstner or spade bit, be mindful of the power of the drill to hurt you should the drill snag in the hole.

Yes. I just tried moving the meter back and forth across some reflective tape about 3" away and it gave me readings in the 40 to 60 rpm range which was about right.

I can't tell you for sure as I have an inboard, but the RPM gauge has a number of settings for both inboard and outboard 2 and 4 cycle engines. The rest of the gauges are just sensors reading so I would guess that they would read oil pressure, temperature, etc. OK.

Simplest answer is your drill probably runs at too low RPM, try a faster drill befroe changing bits.
