CNC Spindle and Router Dust Shoe (Customizable)

thingiverse

Enjoy a tidier workspace with our open dust shoe project, designed for optimal performance at an affordable price. This dust shoe is tailored to meet the needs of CNC routing machines that use routers or CNC spindles - including our line of ready-to-assemble Benchtop and large-format CNC machines. Watch us create one for the Benchtop Standard CNC Machine at https://youtu.be/4cSB5x5Z3BQ, and be sure to also check out our Benchtop Standard Machine itself -- http://www.cncrouterparts.com/benchtop-standard-cnc-machine-kit-p-369.html The version shown in the maker video is 89mm and suitable for routers such as Bosch 1617, Dewalt DW618, and Porter Cable 690 or 892. You can easily customize this design to fit just about any router size. Supplies and Hardware You'll Need: 1) 6.5"x11"x1" HDPE or ABS Block 2) 6.5"x11"x0.5" HDPE or ABS Block 3) 24" Brush Strip (3" bristle length recommended for most, 0.23" channel size) 4) 6 M8 Steel Screw (http://www.cncrouterparts.com/m8-roll-in-t-nut-p-245.html, select the M8x16 Button Head) 5) 6 M8 Threaded Inserts (https://www.mcmaster.com/#95596a200/=15vvaft) 6) 6 3/8" Coin Magnets (http://store.nwmagnet.com/nd0375x0250.html) 7) 2 4" Hose Clamps This is a parametric design, and the parameters such as SpindleDiameter and HoseDiameter are easily changed in the Fusion 360 project to suit your application. Generally, only the spindle/router diameter needs to be updated, or you can choose from one of our many pre-configured STL or vCarve PRO files. Note on customization: Choose a value slightly larger than the actual diameter of your router or spindle to ensure the collar fits without too much force. Similarly, for the dust hose, undersize it a bit (it's already well-sized for a 4" hose, and the suggested value for the 2.5" hose is in the parameter comments). Important Note for those New to Fusion 360: If you're using one of our machines, use the "CNCRouterParts.cps" Post instead of the generic Mach3 Post. Using the generic Post will cause the machine to attempt to home in the Z negative direction between some operations (likely going through your project spice and spoilboard). Enjoy your cleaner workspace! How I Designed This
