Either youā€™re gonna make Dust Shoe or Air diverter. I canā€™t use Diverter because I have Dust Shoe, that air blowing into cut actually helps me.

24

I want to make the dust shoe for my 611 and I was wondering how the air blowing from the 611 effected it?

25

Iā€™ve been considering a dust shoe, I use a ShopVac to collect the dust anywayā€¦ Does the standard one fit with the DeWalt, or do I need to start pondering a new design for it?

26

How well does the collet lock button work?

27

7Button works great
Well here it is my ar mount for inteliscope lol itā€™s crap but it works and it went so fast with the 611

On the DeWalt? Works awesome. Iā€™ve changed bits a million times. Should be even easier with it in the x-carve instead of the baseplate, since you normally have to slide the baseplate off to change bits, and with the x-carve you donā€™t even have to do that.

DWP611 blows directly to work surface, taking dust out of cut, vacuum air suction sucking the dust. Diverter will generate outside air instead. I didnā€™t try but if you think about air travel inside the dust shoe chamber, makes sense.

I put my design to Projects section. It seem complicated but not. At least my design, you can adjust height of the shoe when you need it by the bit size. I put G-Code, Easel cut SVG, all part list and sources. Let me know if you interest and canā€™t find it. I can post again.

Yah, I was mostly worried that the air coming out of the dewalt would be too strong for the vacuum to work effectivaly.

32

I have no problem what so ever. Little dust comes out if cutting work at the edge, even I adjust the shoe lowest level. But mainly I have no dust.

33

I just bought a pile of 4mm and 6mm bits, can I get DWP611 collets for them?

34

I bought some extra collets here:

I bought the same onesā€¦have not arrived yet.

36

I just email them to see if they put the 6mm and 8mm in a set for the $35.50 price.

37

When you state that 4 quiet cut spindles failed, are you referring to the stock 24v spindle that ships with the basic machine?

I hope that is the case because mine also went to spindle hell and I upgraded to the 300w 48v QC spindle.

Yea the 24 V Quiet Cut

Heres a video at .25 depth per pass it cuts out 4 inch tall mdf letters in about a Min Each

39

Whew! ok, I feel better now.

That dewalt sounds alot like the bosch colt I had on the pirahna before the x carve showed up.

But itā€™s going through that MDF like butter!

Sure is and thatā€™s with the machine as it stood no cleaning tightening just but,the switch and go canā€™t say Iā€™m in happy plus there was almost zero edge that didnt look perfect
