Dust Shoe

Here is a dust shoe I made for my new router. I have posted this on a couple of other forums, but I thought I would add some input to this one!

The shop photo shows my setup along with the shop supervisor, Duke.

Mark,

Where did you get the brushes?

Don't know where he got that brush, but I just bought some for a new dust shoe we made for our machine. I got some that is nylon on a flexible pvc carrier. It worked great. I got it from http://www.tanisinc.com/strip.php Nice folks too!

Hi Leo... sorry I haven't gotten back to you... this forum has not gotten up to speed yet, and I haven't checked it.

I got the brushes at the hardware store... they came with a tiny dustpan and were intended as a car accessory. Cost about $2 each. Much cheaper than anything else I could find.

I imagine that such products are hard to find, that makes me think about the small entrepreneur surviving condition.

I see sources for this all the time in industrial quanities. Try looking at Grainger or McMaster-Carr. They will typically have this is the material handling and/gasket sections.

Good Luck!

Real nice job on making the dust shoe - well done.
