"Hey Scott,
What's the deal with the dust hood after the upgrade. I see that the hinge plates are removed and not reused. So I assume all we're left with is the extraction without the hood.
Mazes like those make my head hurt.
Cheers"
Just had a friend from OZ who's about to do the 5.5" Z-MOD upgrade (in 100F heat ) ask me that question.
Old style had 2 pins that had to be engaged at the same time and then slid down and locked with spring-loaded pins( PITA from wheelchair height as I couldn't see the pins so made Plexi shield instead and Kirk has the mini-enclosure which made it unnecessary.
New Z-plate has no method to attach and .pdf says you can't use it anymore.
Anybody figured a work around?
Anybody who has bought a new Desktop recently with the 5.5Z....Does it come with a spindle/router shroud anymore? Could you please send close up shots if so, of how it's attached? Is it easy to use?
Also dimensions to see if we could use our old ones.
Like I said, not a big deal for me, but he uses his, and others may want to as well.
Here's an old pic of mine as delivered the first day.
Thanks for any help!
