CNC Dust Hood

A short video to show you the design of my CNC router Dust hood. Works quite well, and provides great flexibility, when changing tools etc...

Thanks for sharing your elegant solution. Do you have a link to purchase the bristles?

@wyojustin125 Go to McMasterCar, and do a search for "strip brush.." :-)

I do not think a shop vac will create enough vacuum to hold down parts. You will probably need a vacuum pump or a large air compressor with a venturi valve...

@cyborg251, thanks. They are on order!

Thanks for posting this vid! I was going to go with a different style dust shoe but you've convinced me to try this instead. Having all those various dust skirts for different materials and different heights is a great idea. It would be great if you could post a vid of the dust shoe in action.

Very good design. I was thinking about making something like that my self. Have you ever put any thought into using a "Shop-Vac" style vacuum as a vacuum table to hold your workpiece. I have a general idea as to how it should work, but I don't know if it would create enough vacuum pressure to hold the wood/plastic. Any ideas?
