    Default Kent Dust Foot

    Does anyone know if this will mount to a 4HP HSD spindle that has a drill cage mounted to it?

    You might want to contact him directly regarding custom options. He seems pretty reasonable. I have one on my 4hp HSD and it's just right for my purposes.

    You may be able to mod it, but there's no good way to attach the collection hose to it with a drill cage on. It pretty much has to go to the front of the spindle. It can't go on the stepper motor side and it can't go on the opposite side without hitting the legs that are on the inside of the rails when at Y,0. Really needs an option to exit horizontally out the back like the OEM foot.

    Thanks for the replies, I'll email him and ask if he's able to do something that will fit.

    It will not work, Scott and I Tried to to put one on our prs alpha 96x60 with an air drill and it does not work unless you want to give up about 5" in your Y.
    I have one to sell if you anyone wants it, or I was just going to return it.
