Down the rabbit hole

So I just realized that I bought a cnc to make parts for the cnc so I could use the cnc

It all started with the new dust boot for the redline spindle

So I had to make something to hold the hose in the correct position No problem


However when I homed the machine it hit the monitor
I could have bought that nice extension that a member manufactured but I’m cheap and money is tight
So I decided to make a longer swing arm

Now the layout and holes weren’t a problem but you can’t get dowels in that size
So I had to make them

Part complete but it needed some hand work to fit Who knew the monitor hole was tapered? Not this guy Btw we never make mistakes only modifications and adjustments
The finished part (though it needs work to give more clearance to the cables

Great looking parts. Get yourself a 3-D printer and you could print all kinds of way cool accessories, dust boots.
