In my introductory post a week or so ago, I mentioned that I have become the new owner of a pre-2015 Probotix Asteroid which will receive new bearings and other upgrades. While waiting for parts to arrive and thinking one of my first projects will likely be a dust shoe for the DWP611, I drew this one up in Fusion360.
I can't take credit for the design as it was highly influenced by the open source CNCRouterParts model available on their website. I did make some significant modifications to accommodate the smaller size of the 611 and 2.5" hose I plan to use. Also, the clamping method was changed to that used on the KentCNC design to better utilize the limited space available and allow the top to be machined from 1/2" stock instead of the 1" specified in the CNCRP model. The hose attachment is a Rockler product and I've ordered a 3" brush strip from McMasterCarr. Material will either be 1/2" cast acrylic or 1/2" Acetal. I have both on hand and I'm leaning toward acrylic, mainly because it will be easier to glue the brush strip in place.
If anyone spots some aspect of the design that I should reconsider, please speak up. Better to fix it now than after parts are cut.
Regards,
Ed
