Shapeoko3 dust shoe with quick release - V2

youmagine

**Update September 2016** Two new V2 components have been added to accommodate the Z plate. This dust shoe does not move up and down with the router, resulting in almost no friction on the brushes. They are primarily used to fit space for clamping. The video shows a fully printed version (I'm cutting the aluminum part). Pictures show an aluminum version with quick release. The tube inlet is 40mm, matching my "Triton Dust Collection Bucket" size. You can use the fully printed version, but the aluminum mounting bar makes it much stiffer. I recommend making the aluminum version, as you have a Shapeoko to cut it. You'll need 15x15mm aluminum. The aluminum version is designed for quick release adjustment of height. Get these types of quick releases at the bike store; I used one meant to clamp the saddle. I used brushes meant for a letterbox, cut to size. They snap fit in place, but I had to hammer them in...
