Neat. When you get it mounted be sure to post photos.

Dust Chute using CNC Automatic Pressure Foot
I bought a dust shoe made by someone in EU and was very disappointed with the bulky & enclosed design.
So I cannibalised my Hitachi M12V dust chute (have since ordered another) and attach it to an Automatic Pressure Foot for CNC router I had already bought earlier.
Happier with the solution. Now I can have automatic hold down and dust collection with router bit still visible.

Dust Chute using CNC Automatic Pressure Foot mounted
I am sorry that I cannot show machine working since it is Winter & very cold here in Melbourne, Australia and I could not work in my detached shade where the vacuum host is normally hung from the ceiling.
I have taken the CNC router into the house to do design work as suggested by my wife but I could not hang any vacuum host to show as I do not have any hooks in the house ceiling.
I only have a small machine because I only use it to make smaller items and/or templates for routers to make bigger items by hand held routers and router tables.
I use a mini-cyclone connected to a shopvac with a SHOPVAC drywall bag filter + SHOPVAC HEPA cartridge filter.
Works very well - better than a fan type DUSTY.
