I’m probably jumping into the deep end before learning to swim, but this is the CNC table I’ve been working on. Any feedback or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. I want to incorporate the ability to handle taller objects, so taking design ideas from Frank Howarth, I plan on using a pian…

You will need a 2 inch 8-32 machine screw with a hex head. The only place I found them is at Fastenal. Here are the knob and nut holder models. Knurled Knob 8-32 - Height Adjust Block.stl (114.2 KB) Knurled Knob 8-32 - Wing Nut.stl (2.2 MB)

Very nice design, clever use of the Z-axis dust boot slots for mounting the hose support bracket (I’ve always felt uneasy wrapping around the stepper motor), and thanks for the models!

Hey Rex, I can imagine that you get better suction than with your previous dust boot drawing from the back. Do you still have relevant dust and chips not caught? What dust collection system is hooked up at the end of the tubes? I have not seen any dust shields with you so far, but you have a rece…

Hi Rex! Great design! I was printing the parts and realized that there isn’t an STL for the hose side of the coupler. Did you design one that mates or is the mating half available on another site? Thanks!

@349iq2345 , Collecting from the front is much better and I can now get almost all of the dust. A very small amount escapes now. But it depends on the shape and thickness of the wood. With more overhang on the sides a little more will escape. I have an Oneida 3 Hp system. My main ducts are 6" and …

@weichtb (Brent), Here is the hose adapter. You will also want to get eight magnets to put into the small pockets. Make sure you get the polarity on all of the magnets in the correct direction. I use a drop of CA glue to hold them in place. The ones I use I got from K&J Magnetics (model: D52-N52). …

Hi Rex! Thanks for the update and the heads up on the magnets. Got everything printed on my Bambu Labs P1P and they look great! Terrific design! Thanks again. Best regards, Brent Weicht

Thanks, Rex! Just crashed my original boot, so firing up the Prusa now.

Great thread. Was there a resolution to the dust shield question?

I designed it for a dust shield but actually don’t need it because the hole is pretty small. If I were going to redo my design I’d ditch the dust shield lip and make the hole slightly larger so the router can go through the hole for cases when I’m using a short bit and the material is thin. Since my…

Here is a link to my new dust boot design for an 80 mm spindle.
