CNC Dust Shoe - Dewalt DWP 611 Router - VCarve Pro Design Files The Dust Shoe is designed for the Dewalt DWP 611 Router in VCarve Pro using 2D Profile and Pocket cut paths. The material is 0.75" stock - we used oak - but it could be MDF or any hardwood. The 3 parts are a Main Frame that mounts to the Router, a Button Lever to facilitate pressing the spindle lock button on the router, and the Brush Carrier plenum. Each part requires a machining pass on both the top and bottom (2-sided machining). You'll need: 1/4 inch bolt and lock nut to attach the Button Lever and act as the Pivot 1/4 inch Clamping Bolt and Star Knob or Nut to provide clamping force on the Router and VAC Inlet fitting 8 neodymium magnets to hold the Brush Carrier to the Main Frame - available from Harbor Freight Brush Material - Length and Material of your choice Eventually I settled upon this Conveyor Brush from McMaster.com Flexible PVC-Back Nylon Conveyor Strip Brush Style 9, 3" Overall Height, 0.012" Bristle Diameter, 3' Long 7372T5 DustBoot_FrameMain.crv DustBoot_BrushCarrier_V2.crv DustBoot_Lever_Top.crv Below are preview images of the machine paths on the Top and Bottom of each part.
