    So... I needed a dust shoe

    After cobbling many different things together, I finally decided that I needed a proper dust shoe. There are several options out there. The CNCROUTERPARTS parametric one is nice, but I wanted to be able to see my work as it was being cut. So that led me to considering the KentCNC dust shoe. I couldn't see paying $160 for that either since I had most of the stuff just lying around to make it myself.

    I plan on installing a LED light ring inside of this.

    You did a great job on the shoe. As nice or better than any commercial models I've seen for sale.
