shop made floor sweep heres some pics of a floor sweep i knocked together in about 15 min.
its about 16" x 7" has 3" wheels.. i hook it up to my dust collector and dont have to bend over any more .
all the parts come from around the shop, its something i dreamed up while playin with my cnc router, not perfect , but cheap and easy for me , anyways.

Very nice, I will have to try and make one of those for myself sometime.

You inspired me to create a similar sweeper with handle. I actually ordered a 21 inch sweeper from Amazon (no handle of course) but its been back ordered for 2 months. This one will get me through till the sweeper arrives. I might have to think about some wheels too.
thats cool, the dust collector really does the job when it comes to putting some suction on the floor. I need to figure out how to hook it up to the cnc also.

Miller, what kind of router do you have? If it's a Hitachi, I'd be glad to send you the G-code to cut a bracket. This is a must-have piece of equipment.
I bought my hose kit from Harbor Freight. In the kit includes a couple of suction hood adapters. The larger one I used in my floor sweep. The smaller one I used on the CNC collector.
The plastic adapter in the picture clamps to the hitachi.
Let me know if you want to try this method. I cut mine in 1/2 inch plastic, but MDF will work too.

yup, its a hitachi variable speed, i downloaded joes dust shoe but it didnt seem to fit right. making some more clamps for the router today and moving them closer so i have more room for the dust shoe. would apprecaite a look at your dfx's for the dust shoe

More images. The shoe fits under the router support and squeezes the router. A long wood screw tightens the shoe to the router.
got that dxf file ? mine does not use a star shape clamp, must be a older version, cause it leaks dust everywhere.
made new clamps for the router today and attached them to a slotted backboard with gorrilla glue. used a fairly straight grained nice piece of white oak to cut them out of... mdf and plastic costs money, the sawshed has plenty of wood in it.
looks like a lil piece o furniture, wonder if i should stain it ? lol

I finally got home long enough to get the dxf file for you. I cut it from plastic. The slots give it plenty of flexibility. A long wood screw is used to tension squeeze the clamp. The large square block is also waste and this is the obvious location for the hose adapter.
cool, thanks.
off to source some cutting boards
