Shapeoko / Xcarve Dust Shoe

thingiverse

This Dust Shoe is designed to work with Inventables Spindle Carriage, P/N 80031 for Quietcut Spindle. It should work well with any Shakeoko, Shapeoko2 or Xcarve that has this particular spindle carriage. It's made for a standard 2.25" shop vac hose. The shop vac hose adapter also works great for other things- like building a dust collector for your table saw, etc. Hardware Needed: 4x M5x20 SHCS to attach left and right support arms to upper dust shoe 4x M5x12 SHCS to attach vacuum adapter to upper dust shoe 3x M4x12 SHCS to attach left arm to spindle mount 12x 10mm x 3mm high strength magnets (I bought mine here: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MFHNHNW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Brush Bristle Strip (I bought mine from amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01566L3HQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) 5x M3x10 SHCS to attach Brush strip to lower dust shoe. This is a pretty straightforward build. 1) Superglue (or other suitable adhesive) magnets into pockets on the lower and upper dust shoes. Be sure to get polarity right so they stick together rather than repel each other! 2) punch holes in brush strip then screw it on to the lower dust shoe. This didn't work as well as I'd like, I may end up redesigning this for a clamp to hold brush strip in place. But it works for now. 3) assemble upper dust shoe. 4) snap onto spindle carriage if careful, then bolt into place. 5) attach your shop vac and start carving!
