The Pixels to Prototype Dust Boot v3 is here!
I spent hours and hours testing and trying many dust boots on several CNCs that I have had over the years. I had some that the brush piece would dislodge and cause ruined jobs. I have had others that made it so frustrating to make tool changes that I tried to avoid them at all costs! Well after all this trial and error, I have come up with the design you see here -- the Pixels to Prototype v3 dust boot. This dust boot is designed from the ground up in Fusion360 making it very easy to adjust and adapt for many different machines, spindles, and setups. If you have a custom need, please to not hesitate to reach out!
Features:
- Screw clamp for attaching firmly and quickly to the spindle.
- 70mm (2.75") nylon brush with Magnet attachment. This also features 4 tabs to prevent the brush dislodging in the middle of a job. Additional brushes are available in the store and are interchangeable.

Please consider a 2nd brush for shorter or larger tooling.***
- Brush has slit for easy removal to perform tool changes.
- Quick Connect Hose Adapter - easily remove hose from the boot for tool changes or machine work!
