Universal CNC Router Dust Boot
3D print this over engineered dust boot for your CNC router! These parts print easily and contain captive nuts for a strong assembly. 8 rare earth magnets and locating pins allow for easy removal of the brush yet provide simple and secure fastening. This dust boot has excellent dust collection and there are two options for brush lengths. The 2" brush length works great for thinner stock and sheet goods up to 3/4" [19mm]. Use the 3" brush when cutting deeper than 3/4" [19mm]. It installs to the spindle with just one clamping bolt. It can be installed on the left side, right side, or in front of the spindle.
