Dave, can you tell me where you got the flexible brush for the dust shoe?

Thanks all, I appreciate the comments.

As for the axis setup, aren't jobs supposed to come out backwards/mirrored?    Yep, ya got me, I actually screwed up when setting up Mach 3 as I'm used to a mill and got my directions reversed. I suppose I should fix them soon so I don't get used to it being backwards.

"Ya Nvr No" Those were drawn up in V Carve Pro.

Thanks,
Dave

  Suppose you could always turn the "X axis label" upside down and fit the "Y axis label" on the other side of the gantry 

Tweakie.

Better?

How'd you bend it? I'm working on a shoe design for my next machine, and I was thinking of using the next larger size up from yours, and bending it between hardwood block to "form" it.

As for your X and Y axis directions. They're the same as my router. But, I stand on the other side of mine.

Gerry, it was bent with set of linesman and neednose pliers and "pressed" into a .135 slot. Worked beautifully.

Thats one nice looking setup but definitely too tidy
