Dust Shoe

[jhedlund58]

I Made a big mistake. I took the original dust shoe with soft plastic skirt and cut them down a half inch. I thought there was a lot of pressure on work service. Solved flex problem with dust shoe, but caused other problems. I have looked at shopbots web site for replacement skirting to no avail. Is it available?

Jeff...
If you don't find an OEM source, I cut strips from a vinyl hall runner for mine. It's sold by the foot at HD.

seems too easy... I agree with your approach and will do... why make mountain outta mole hill.

Jeff Shopbot do sell replacement skirts but you could bite the bullet and buy a Kent as so many of us have done. Worth every cent and a really nice guy to deal with.

ALL the parts on the SB dust shoe, including the thermoformed clear shell, skirt material/fringe & hardware, are available. Call SBHQ to inquire about pricing.

Speaking of dust shoes! the dust shoe on my budy48 is marginal at best. What's this about the"kent dust shoe"? where can I get some info on this?
