Hello all, I never used the dust collection attachment with my pro woodworker, as it limited my Z clearance and was a bit flimsy. I’m planning to upgrade to an 80mm spindle - and see a lot of options on Etsy for dust boots that connect directly to the spindle, thus moving up and down with the bit.…

I am using the Hermes boot. Works great. Llok for it in this forum. [image] The Hermes Dust Boot Accessories Greetings, everyone! It is with great pleasure that I get to announce the official launch of the Hermes Dust Boot! After several months of development and a suc…

Same here, love the Hermes. Would never change it to anything else :slight_smile:

I have been using the Suck It boot since day one and never had an issue. I upgraded to the Z20 slider with the 80mm mount. I have both 65mm and 80mm spindles. I CAD designed my own mount arms that are stronger and offset for the 80mm mount without using the spacers that came with the Z20.

Ok thanks for the responses - I’m going to try out the Hermes. J

I bought the suckit boot and installed it with my journeyman. Aftertesting that all axis worked, i turned off the machine and down came the z axis crashing into the suckit plate, cracking it. I have since traded for the Hermes and a braking z motor.

I am new at the CNC world of routers. After doing surfacing of my waist board and then spending a whole week cleaning I went with the double barrel Dust boot works great. Can do bit changes very easily. Made by CAVALIERDESIGNAND3D I looked at a dozen or so dust boot and this the I went with Hope…
