Vacuum Attachment for Shapeoko Stock Router

thingiverse

I've created a vacuum attachment for my stock Shapeoko CNC. I own the XL version, but this modification should be compatible with other models as well. To enhance compatibility, I utilized a Ridgid Vacuum brush and made some adjustments to fit it onto the attachment seamlessly. To achieve optimal performance, it's essential to use bristles featuring wavy patterns. This feature allows the bristles to flex more easily, resulting in improved CNC functionality, particularly when operating along the Z-axis. When removing the drill bit, you'll need to detach the hose first, which grants access to the locking nut.
