Brush for dust shoe in europe
Hi all,
Does anyone know where I can source flexible brush strip for my dust shoe in Europe (ideally France)?
After several searches, I only find that kind of stuff on US websites (like for example on kentCNC) and the shipping cost is higher than the price of the brush itself...
Thanks

Hit the same problem here in the UK. After reading about alternatives, I went with this and it's working well:

I bought a roll from Aliexpress. Just search under "cnc brush". Of course, you'll need to be patient as shipping will take a month.

I found that brush strips, even the softest ones, are two stiff. When the z access plunges downwards the z would have a hard time pushing it down. I tried them as an angle, but when the bristles end up in the pocket you are cutting they also would be hard to compress. Horse hair brush was a bit better cause they bend easier, but mounting them was harder cause the mount was a hard bulky, non bendable mount. I found my best brush so far has been a ⅛" thick rubber that I glued on and cut into strips.
This is with the thinnest softest brush mc master Carr sells. I'll post pictures of the rubber one when I get a chance

Re: Brush for dust shoe in europe
I could also only find stiff brushes, so I made a dust shoe that's not moving up and down with the router, I think it works pretty nice.
Also added a quick release for easy height adjustment and tool change;

Re: Brush for dust shoe in europe
I tried brush strip and it was also stopping the Z axis plunging down. I ended up buying the cheapest, most basic foam mousepad I could find. It has a thin layer of plastic on one side, which gives it enough strength to hold its shape, but it moves easily over the material. And they cost about $5 each!
That is an excellent idea! I think I will try out something similar!UltiArjan wrote:I could also only find stiff brushes, so I made a dust shoe that's not moving up and down with the router, I think it works pretty nice.
