    Default BT32 Dust Boot

    My original dust boot has a spring loaded locking feature to keep it in on the "U" shaped shoe. Not too long after I got the machine it broke. SB sent me a replacement, and it did not last long either. So, I am using a cable tie to hold it in place. Should I consider totally replacing the boot with something else, and if so, any suggestions or what to get?

    I would depend on whether you have a router or spindle, if spindle I would go with the Kent CNC Dust Shoe, it is great or you can just cut you something similar. Search the forum, I believe I have seen a number of posts describing what others have come up with.
