Some things that go great with BobsCNC

Built For BobsCNC Machines

I was about to retire when I came across an article about Bob Wood and BobsCNC. I’ll never retire now. The connections to their group and craving for knowledge has literally changed my life. In 1980 I started a small furniture manufacturing business. In 1990 I started a computer company. Today at 66, I've combined the 2 trades I love most and it's a blast. Thank you Bob!

Floating Dust Boots

What is the first question to ask about a Dust Boot System?

Is it fixed mount? If it is - Be Aware!

Please make note that I now include a hose camp. This is used instead of the 3 holes in the suction tube if you like.

Telescopic

The problems with fixed mount dust boots.

That's it, they are fixed

When the router goes down to cut, it puts pressure in the Z axis, if the brushes are touching. And they need to touch to create suction. Now, when it goes down for the second, third, forth.... pass, it's creating more pressure on the z axis. This upward pressure causes all kinds of problems. Backlash, Uneven cuts, Loss of steps, Loose bearings, Binding, Uneven Lines. Eventually the pressure is too great and a catastrophic accident occurs. Floating or Telescopic is best
