Magnetic Dust Shoe for MPCNC - Increased Clearance (works with DW660, 52mm spindle and 55mm spindle)

thingiverse

This is a remix of the excellent mount from nellson (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2797108), which in turn uses the DW660 mounts from Allted. All credit for the original designs goes to them. This revision raises the attachment point for the dust shoe. This allows for the entire length of the endmill to be used without collision. The hose mount is also designed to fit a 3/4in PVC pipe. The pipe is further secured using the upper bracket. There are three versions for use with the DeWalt DW660, the common 52mm brushed spindles, and the 55mm diameter brushless spindles. Print the upper tube clamp, upper mount, lower clamp, and lower mount for whichever tool you are using. You will also need to print the dust shoe (same model for all three versions. The dust shoe attaches to the lower mounts using six magnets (8mm diameter x 3mm thick). I recommend printing with PETG with at least 4 perimeters and 40% infill (The parts need to be rigid). PLA also works fine for a while, but the parts will wear out sooner due the vibration and heat from the tool. ABS would probably also work, but be sure you have dialed in your print settings to minimize shrinking or warping. If you want the option to switch between the DW660 and a spindle. I have adapters designed from both the 52mm and 55mm spindles to fit in the DW660 mount (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3371712). The increased clearance makes it possible to still still change bits without removing the spindle (assuming ~50mm ER11 chuck length). https://youtu.be/J7bVb5ChABY EDIT 01/31/2019: Corrected a missing opening in the 660 Dust Shoe - Shoe.stl. Thanks to KrushSix for catching this. EDIT 02/13/2019: Added versions to work directly with 52mm and 55mm spindles. Also added new upper mount and upper clamp for the 660 that are remixed from Allted's newer "Burly" 660 mount. Use either both the burly pieces or both "original" pieces, but don't mix and match.
