Installing the EFM

your getting close....

Now connect the neutral (white) power wire to the bottom of the new speed controller – it will be the only large male plug

finished controller in place

finishing up

its all downhill from here.. just put the top back on

from here, you need to decide on locations for your speed control and on/off paddle. You may be limited by the design of your table as to where you can mount the controls so be sure to think this out before doing any mods to your table.

There is a lock nut, that from the outside appears to be a standard 1/2" conduit nut. It isn't and Casey was lucky enough to find one that worked from a project some years ago. He also listed (page two I believe) a Radio Shack switch that used the same nut. However, the switch is more then the nut itself if you order it with the parts, at the same time. The lock nut is item 06-57-5020 and is $1.30. This holds the cord to the box.

thanks Randal,,

I'll add it to the parts list

Doug and I read the email he received from Milwaukee, about the control box quite differently. I sent an email back to who he talked to, for clarification, and will post any correction if needed.

You brought up some questions that made me re-think my interpretation of the e-mail, And it wouldn't be the first time I miss read something.

So I called Mike Schleuse at Milwaukee Tools & also their 1- 800- Sawdust line (1-800-729-3878) And I confirmed that the control box part # 23-37-0175 is a complete assembly.
Mike informed me that because JessEm is no longer offering the 5626-68 that these control box assemblies are now available through Milwaukee. He also let me know that there's only 20 of these left in stock & once their gone that's it.

Even though I don't have the router yet I don't want to lose out on the complete assembly so I went ahead & ordered the Control Box, EFM, & Power Control Cable.

 

[LinuxRandal]

So you mean 19 left in stock? LOL

Good to know, as I haven't heard back from him yet.

Just to update the information on the controller # 23-37-0175, I got my order from Milwaukee the other day & the control box is the complete set-up that was sold with the JessEm/Milwaukee 5626-68.

 

[TwoSkies57]

Doug... complete set up? paddle, speed control, EFM and wiring???? If so, thats not a bad deal at all! I can't imagine these lasting very long. Let us know how your overhaul goes..

bill

 

[dwall174]

The control box assembly is complete as shown! I still needed to get the new power control cable & the EFM. The total came to $182.85 which included $10.35 for tax. There was a mess-up on their shipping so I wasn't charged any shipping charges.

Since you did your conversion the price of making Sawdust Went Up:moil:

Milwaukee's prices
The control box #23-37-0175 was $97.90
Power Control Cable part #22-64-0400 was $26.80
EFM (Electronic Feedback Module) part #14-20-0095 was $47.80

I'm still keeping my eye out for a used or reconditioned 5625! Just don't like the idea of converting a new unit & loosing the warranty.

 

[TwoSkies57]

Hey Doug... I got to agree with ya, converting one and loosing the warranty would be a bit chancey. The good news is, if you keep all the old parts you an put her back together. I picked mine up on the bay for a couple hundred so I had no warranty to loose. Have you tried looking up a local shop for a recon? I'll keep an eye out for ya, If I run across something you might be interested in.. I'll drop you a note..Patience always pays off...but dang, dont' ya hate to wait...

Yea I have several local tool stores watching out for a recon for me.

Patience always pays off...but dang, don't ya hate to wait...

Gives me time to work on a new home for the 5625
I'm currently only using a Incra plate with a Bosch EVS1617 that’s in my table saw extension. So a new lift is also on the watch list! Either a Incra/JessEm Mast-R-Lift ll or a Incra/Woodpecker PRL-V2.

Dear Bill, I just bought a Milwakee 5625 router and want to acquire the front control box including wiring and EFM. I know the control box is still available from Milwakee but I don't know model numbers or suppliers for the wiring and special EFM. Would be so kind as to e-mail me the required information at [email protected]. I would be in your debt and with great appreciation. Thank you. Jerry

Welcome to the forum Jerry, however it is not a good idea to post your email address on a public forum...

Hello all,
Im coming in on this years late, obviously. Does anyone still have the EFM 14-20-0095 still available? Or information on who, I can contact about obtaining remote router control for my 5625-20?
