Dust shoe

thingiverse

After trying the other shoes avail I had trouble containing chips when using longer tools and deeper plunge cuts so designed this, it works great for me hopefully it does for you Only cons I have found are : The X axis travel is slightly reduced. The shoe plate should be removed when setting up wcs The shoe plate should be removed if using a tool length probe The x axis limit switch needs to be moved or an extension for the top carriage designed, I chose to design a bracket so I could move the switch, it can be seen in the pic on the left hand y axis carriage. I use magnets to hold the plate in place and have added springs to lift up the sliders so I don't risk breaking if they drop down when not clamped and moving about. 1st design used a 3d printed plate, but then milled out a piece of plexiglass to use so I can see what is happening whilst milling Parts required 4 x 10mm x 2mm rare earth magnets 2 x 30mm x M4 Hex Socket Bolts 2 x M4 Nylock nuts 8 x 15 x M3 Hex Socket Bolts 8 x M3 Nuts 2 springs to help hold shoe up (not required but nice to have) Brush strip I used one off a door brush
