Dust Shoe for Makita RT0701C Router and 40mm Hose

thingiverse

This STL file specifies the main body of a dust shoe to be used with a Makita RT0701C trim router which has a body diameter of 65mm. The dust shoe slips on and off of the trim router with aid of M3 hex socket machine screws and a hex head driver. The machine screws interface with heat set inserts which are placed using a soldering iron set to 260C. 70mm vacuum brush is cut to size and set into place using hot glue applied to the cut ends and top of the brush. Injecting hot glue in the brush receptacle slot is not advised. The shoe has a hole accepting of a mechanical pencil allowing a pencil mark to be lowered on the target piece (or the machine's cutting surface) for calibration or recalibration purposes. Other items needed to complete the shoe include the following: Vacuum Cleaner Engraving Machine Dust Cover, 70mm Brush Vacuum Cleaner Engraving Machine Dust Cover for CNC Router for Spindle Motor Milling Machine https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QPK2VFN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 M3 hex socket machine screws 15mm M3 heat set inserts, McMaster Carr 94180A331 Up and Up Mechanical pencils, Target https://www.target.com/p/2-mechanical-pencils-0-5mm-8ct-up-38-up-8482/-/A-14432719 (optional) 40 mm outside diameter vacuum hose (35mm internal diameter) Because movement of the shoe will generate a static electricity charge, grounding of the vacuum hose is required for both stability of the CNC machine's electronics and explosion prevention. I used braided picture hanging wire through the hose and attached to earth ground. Please do your own research on this important topic. https://www.amazon.com/Picture-Hanging-100-Feet-Braided-Supports/dp/B082XXKVMF/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=picture+hanging+wire&qid=1615733165&sr=8-5 Also uploaded is a STL file for a pulley suitable for the 40mm vacuum hose. It is pictured using a 1/8" steel rod for an axil.
