X Carve 4" Dust Boot

Description

I Needed A Dust Shoe That Could Work With My 4" Dust Collector Hose. I Liked The Original Design, Which Was A Remix Of Another, Which Was Also Good, But I Have Had Issues In The Past With Gluing The Bristles Into The Base Of Shoes, So I Wanted To Try To Make A Line Of Holes That Should Make The Process Easier. I Also Wanted A Way To Change A Bit Without Having To Raise The Router, So I Cut A Slit In The Back Of The Plate. Of Course Just Using Bristle Strips Would Be Easier, But There Is Not A Good Supplier Up Here In Canada, So Here We Go... I Included The Original Connector For The Arms, And My Version Which Fuses The Three Parts Into One. You Have To Remove The Z Axis Stepper To Use Mine, Which Is A Pain, But I Like The One Piece Better. I Also Included Short Arms And Long Arms. Long Arms Are Good If You Have Raised Your Y Axis, But Are Taller And Do Not Fit On Some Printers. This Should Work With The Cnc4Newbie 6" Slide But I Don'T Have One To Be Sure. I Didn'T Leave Holes In The Base For Fixing The Base To The Arms So I Could Get The Placement Perfect By Drilling Them Out. Ive Included A Tool I Made To Cut The Bristles All At The Same Length. There Is A Hole In The Back Of The Arms To Secure Them To The Gantry Better With Clips. I Used "Insert Threads" But You May Be Able To Just Use A Regular Nut. I Use A Soldering Iron To Heat Them Up And Press Them In Where Necessary.
