New "high tech" dust foot, opinions?

[pappybaynes]

This is the high tech solution. Never used one, but sounds like the device that would really solve the problem for those that are working with dangerous materials.

For a $1000.00 it's not only high tech but high priced!

I think it was $100 dollars. A lot cheaper than the Kent.

$1,000.00 + $5.04 shipping on Amazon- I did see it for $900 somewhere.

Yes... a bit of a side track on the high tech dust foot , but chances are that I am not going to be paying 1000 for a spindle nut with a cool wing technology cut on it!!! Whoever thought that was going to be a good market (at THAT price) did not think it through that well!

I see it is for Er 32 or 40 collets. We could use one at the shop I worked for running a Biesse with multiple heads and a really large dust hood. they may go for it as the hood doesn't do a very good job.

I doubt their target is us botters. While a neat idea, I wouldn't be able to justify the price in my business. But them big guys, running non stop 24/7.. I bet it would pay for itself pretty quickly.


Ohhh... if only I had an unlimited budget for cool toys

We've had several folks express interest in the project.
If you have any interest in the project, please PM me your email address.

Like I said it would cut down a lot on the amount of clean up they do. They run their Biesse's about 6 hours a day but they could cut that down I used to run their pod and rail but it had a out feed conveyor to get rid of the waste.

Must be something wrong with my screen, Mine said first batch at $100. where do you all see $1000.

Don…
For the design prototype SK8MFG is developing… $100.00 is correct!
The topic got changed and $1000.00 solutions were linked to.

As a loyal Kent user the big hurdle for me is you cant see the cutter. The Kent is clear perspex on top.

Thanks Bob,

I'm trying to put myself in your shoes. How does the clear top side help in your particular work flow?

We did some brainstorming regarding visibility issues. To paraphrase the designer:
1. Fixed boot is sloped upward exposing cutter, when viewing directly from the front. You should no longer have to bend over so much if running without the brush ring.
2. The brush ring uses a slide-in brush. If you need better visibility for particular operations, you can leave part of the brush strip out.
The brush ring will also be available separately.
3. There is a clear PVC strip than can be mixed and matched with the strip brush. You can then see thru the "brush"

Thanks all,
