CNC Dust Shoe Housing for 80mm Spindle

Designed to fit seamlessly around an 80 mm (approx.) diameter spindle assembly, this CNC dust-shoe housing offers a reliable, low-profile solution for collecting debris and chips during milling, engraving, or routing operations. Whether you’re running a hobbyist router or a professional CNC spindle, this dust shoe helps improve cleanliness, visibility, and extraction efficiency — helping keep your work area safe and your machine running smoothly.

Benefits:

• Reduces cleanup time by capturing chips and dust at the point of creation.
• Improves airflow and dust-extraction efficiency, contributing to a cleaner and healthier workshop environment.
• Helps protect your spindle motor, bearings and coolant system from particulate ingress.
• Enhances machining accuracy by maintaining a chip-free work zone and clearer sight-lines.
• Suitable for both wood and light fabric/leather/foam machining environments.
• Specifications (typical for this model):
• Spindle outer diameter compatibility: ~80 mm
• Housing material: Steel or anodised aluminium (depending on version)
• Extraction port diameter: ~50 mm / 2” (verify your system)
• Overall outer diameter: ~100-110 mm (approx., depending on skirt design)
• Mounting method: Slip-on with set-screws / clamp-style
• Weight: ~0.9-1.2 kg (varies)
• Finish: Powder-coated or raw metal (model-dependent)
• Color: Black / natural metal / custom finishes (varies by vendor)
• Ideal For:
• CNC router enthusiasts converting spindle upgrades.
• Professional workshops running 80 mm (≈ 3.15″) diameter spindles seeking better dust management.
• Retrofit installations: easily replaces generic dust boots to realise better performance.
• Users working with wood, MDF, plastics, foam or composite materials where chip control is critical.

Installation Tips:

1. Ensure your spindle’s outer housing diameter is within the tolerance (≈80 mm) before purchasing.
2. Disconnect power & remove tool. Clean the spindle housing surface for secure mounting.
3. Slide the dust-shoe housing into place, align the skirt with the tool path and fixtures. Tighten set-screws or clamp bolts evenly.
4. Connect your dust extractor hose to the port, ensuring a tight seal and no kinks in the hose.
5. Run the spindle at low speed initially and observe for any interference or vibration. Adjust alignment if necessary.
6. After installation, monitor the skirt wear lip—replace it when excessive wear is evident to maintain suction performance.

Why Choose This Model:
This dust shoe housing is purpose-built for 80 mm spindles, offering a superior fit and more effective chip evacuation than generic boots. Its robust construction and design focus make it a smart choice for anyone serious about dust control, machine longevity and workshop cleanliness.
