Need to catch the dust, so today I'll be mounting a dust shoe. Cut it out last night and put a quick coat of paint on it. It needs another, but probably won't get it.
Having a machine to cut parts on sure makes things easier. Especially the elliptical hole for the hose flange.
I bought 3 ft of strip brush from McMaster Carr, 3" long and 5/16" wide. Routed a 5/16" x 5/16" slot in the bottom of the plate, and will epoxy the brush in with 5 minute epoxy. I need to make 2 small aluminum angle brackets, which I'll mount to my motor holder. I'll epoxy two carriage bolts into the dust shoe, which will let me mount it with 2 wingnuts. Hopefully I'll be able to get it on and off pretty easily.
I'm hoping that I'll be able to also get my Igus track installed today as well. Then I'll just need to throw a box together to get all the electronics off the table.
