Dewalt_DWP611 Vacuum mount V3 w/ Laser Crosshairs

thingiverse

I wanted a dust shoe that utilized bristle brushes instead of clear vinyl, but I found it extremely challenging to set my home X/Y coordinates when you can't see the tip of the router bit. My solution was to install two 650nm 5mw red laser line diodes from Amazon, aimed along two axes and aligned to intersect at the center of the spindle. Based on an outstanding design by nmackes, I was able to modify his Inventor source files in Fusion 360 to create this version. As this is a work-in-progress that appears to be functioning very well, I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions you may have.
