Dust Shoe Height issues

[genek]

The mounting plate should be flush with the bottom of the spindle.

Instead of that miserable little thumb screw at the bottom, here's what I did with mine. Replaced the short bar with a long one and put a knob at the top. Also made the foot come off with a small knob and have the mounting plate pinned for locating it properly for those times when I want it completely out of the way. I prefer it coming out the back, so I also modified it with some squashed PVC pipe for a better connection and fit (did that long before doing the height adjust, so that thumb screw is now gone).

Where did you get the white connector????

It's a piece of PVC that was heated and pressed into an oval so it would fit into the back of the foot. The inside lip was gound or tapered some to make flow a bit better and the gap around the outside was filled with expanding foam and trimmed off.

What size of pvc did you use and schd

Whatever size that the SB supplied dust hose fit around. I think it was 3.5" od. No Idea what schedule it was, just standard off the shelf PVC pipe. As long as it fit, it didn't matter.
