General Information

I was tired of DUST all over my machine and rails, and chasing the cuts with the vacuum. I made a dust shoe that the top part is permanent, and the bottom section removes for bit changes. Made of Acrylic, Pine, FastCap’s Sawstache, (4) power magnets, and 2P10 CA Glue, (2) M5x6MM Bolts, CPAP Hose.

XCARVE 24VDC Dust Shoe Magnets

2 minutes

Next, you will want to get some power magnets. 9/16" x 3/16", sand the gluing surfaces, and glue them in the recessed holes. I used Power Mags from FastCap. http://www.fastcap.com/estore/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=302

I used Thick CA Glue from FastCap called 2P10.

XCARVE 24VDC Dust Shoe Stache

20 minutes

Now, it is time to install the stache to to the bottom pine piece. I used the same CA glue as above to attach it to the piece and clamped for 5 minutes each time I clamped a section. After you have the Stache attached, and it has cured for 5 more minutes. Trim the access rubber from the top of the bottom plate.

You can get your stache here:
