Today I posted this at cnczone, I guessed it can help someone here too so here is a repost:


Shoe assembled, unlike other shoes, this one is axial, dust is vacuumed around the cutting tool. The radial allen bolt is used to fix the shoe to the Metabo

bottom side, you can see neodymium magnets to attach the bristle curtain

the hole was milled from the outside, then I dremelled it to provide a better path for the dust.

The top part is threaded to the shoe body, there is really no need for this, but I figured this when the shoe was almost finished :)

Views of the side attachment, I have a lot of 10mm sheets, so I did this part in 4 layers

Hotmelted from the inside

The threaded side, there is no real need for the holes, the piece I used of aluminum I used had these holes and I had to live with that.

Bored coupling in the lathe so the vacuum fits tightly

Tried it with the same sheet of acrylic and not a single shaving escaped, now I can work cleanly :)

My PC takes forever to download "something", but nothing shows in the thread. Pablo, you have had these picture problems before?

another option would be using the coral cache for reading the forum:

Or if you use the opera browser enable the turbo mode, which "proxifies" the navigation thru their servers.

Those options are too complicated. I will wait until you discover how to post pictures that everyone can read.
