Dust Boot

Post by Steven Sirrine »

I have a Shark HD4 extended bed and am using a water-cooled spindle with a dust boot. I've noticed that when the spindle changes direction, the dust boot fingers cause the front end of the spindle mount to raise slightly, which leaves unwanted material. I have to run a cleanup pass without the boot every time I do a pocket cut. Is this normal for the Shark HD4?

This can happen on any machine that lacks rigidity.

The brush on your dust shoe is more rigid than your machine is. Think about that for a minute....
