The spindle would move out of the dust shoe, change tools, and move back to the dust shoe, the door would close and it would continue routing with the dust shoe moving along with the spindle.
Am I crazy? dreaming? or is there something like this?
I was thinking of doing something like this, adding linear bearings to the X rail, and putting a hard stop for the shoe and holding it in place with magents.
Thoughts?
