Hi all, I've been experiencing problems with my z-axis on my prt, it's jamming up while cutting longer 3D HDU files. Just fixed my dust boot, but still having problems. It's bad, it makes the z axis jam near the upper and lower travel limits of the Z. It's enough to really cause some chaos with everything.

Was wonder how I can combat this problem? I'm out of idears.

A 3-5hp collector should help. Kent James also sells a very well designed dust shoe.

Thanks Gene. I'm running the Delta 50-760. Which is only a 1.5hp.

Would I be better off with a 2.5hp shopvac for now? Until I can replace the Delta?

I'm thinking you are correct, that the Delta 1.5hp just isn't enough...

4" hose at the router minium. Have you found the link for the Kent James dust shoe?
