CNC router dust shoe for Openbuilds

thingiverse

Two versions of a dust shoe for Openbuilds type CNC routing machines are designed for optimal performance. Set up specifically for a Makita router (65mm) and a 63mm ID extraction hose, these designs meet the needs of demanding users. Both versions share a common bottom brush section that is easily removable due to its magnetic attachment. Users must source and fit their own brush and magnets (5mm x 3mm), allowing flexibility in design. One version features holes for the Openbuilds LED ring light to shine through, providing illumination without compromising dust collection efficiency. This convenient feature eliminates the need to remove the entire assembly when not using the brush. In contrast, the other version of the top section is solid, devoid of holes for the LED light. This design prioritizes dust collection over illumination. An M4 machine screw and nut are used to securely tighten the top section to the router body, ensuring a snug fit. A suitable brush is required; one user purchased a spare part brush from Ooznest, suggesting that users may need to source alternative brushes and modify the channel accordingly.
