Dust Shoe for X-Carve

thingiverse

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3PxFX8ozxI This is a dust shoe attachment for the Inventables X-Carve with the DeWalt DWP611 Router option that makes upgrading your machine easy and affordable. A dust shoe connects to a vacuum, extracting chips created while cutting and preventing them from getting caught in the cutting tool or deposited on the rails for cleaner, more accurate cuts. The 3D printed dust shoe attaches easily to the side of the router mount on the X-Carve using 1 to 2 M3 X 16mm socket head screws. A separate vacuum hose fits snugly into the dust shoe, making it easy to remove for post-carving cleanup if needed. There is also a 3D printed adapter piece for two different brand hoses used.
