thingiverse

This is the core of a dust-gathering system for the X-Carve CNC outfitted with a Dewalt 611 spindle. Galvanized steel angles from Home Depot are secured to the machine using two sets of holes and machine screws. These steel angles offer a magnetic surface, allowing magnets attached to the X-Carve with epoxy to stick firmly in place. The magnets themselves come from Home Depot as well. A clear plastic skirt is crafted from this material: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0014B92EE?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 and attached to the system using adhesive-backed Velcro strips, trimmed down to about 1cm wide.
