Man, these really SUCK! I used some aluminum mill swarf from my mini mill and it sucks it right up. Wood, carbon fiber and router aluminum swarf will be easy-peasy! Video below.
All use an 1-1/4″ Shop Vacuum hose. Craftsman from Lowe’s and Amazon both fit perfect. The hose needs to be 1-1/4″ inside diameter and the hard plastic hose end needs to be removed….most rotate off backwards….”Righty-Loosey”
Production color/finish for each will be:
Mini and Original: Smoky Black/Black
Bauer/Makita: Smoky Black/Black
Dewalt: Smoky Black/Black
These take 6 to 12 hours of 3D Print time to make, so please allow 3 to 10 working days for me to ship your order.
Resin 3D Printed in Siraya Tech “Build” resin, incorporates a 5/64″ thick laser-cut Delrin support on some models in the top, laser-cut foam gasket between the halves, four rare earth magnets hold the halves together & make it easy to change bits and assorted length silicone 1-1/4″ and 1-1/2″ (Depending on model) pickup hoses. My designer Dave Kern and I put in a bunch of hours to get these done right. You will like these in your shop.
Install notes:
Upper shoe mounts to the FoxAlien 300 Watt spindle by pulling up on the fan on the top of the motor. Change out the two M4 x 100mm Phillips screws one at a time.
The 500 Watt spindle attaches with the four M4 x 16 Allen head capscrews.
The 60 Watt 45mm spindle mounts with two M4 x 14 Allen head cap screws
The Makita/Bauer 65 mm spindle mounts to the base of the router with two M4 x 60 Allens and two flange nuts. do not over tighten, the shoe is resin/plastic and only needs to be tight enough to hold the hose.
The Dewalt do the same as the Makita/Bauer except line the base two buttonhead Allens with the cutout in the rear bracket. The Dewalt you must hold firmly on the base of the router before snugging the Allens. The Dewalt has a large threading and not much metal to hang on to, that is why.
Choose the length of the silicone hose wisely. Be sure to allow room for hold down hardware to clear. Error on the shorter side and/or move the spindle to the four corners of your workpiece to verify clearance. What looks “too short” will still Suck really well 🙂 You can cut them to length easily if you need a between length. You can also cut the hose from the bottom a 1/2″ or so, this will help the hose to glide over mounting hold downs.
I include a 1-1/4″ shop vac hose connector. Funny, Amazon does not sell these, so I 3D Printed them. They will be assorted colors. If you do the overhead mount, this enables you to join hoses and you can leave one attached and the other one, you can store easily.

To hold the hose to the pipe, I used HomeDepot Nite Ize 24″ Loopable Gear Tie

Eleven foot 1-1/4″ vacuum hose, so you can put the vacuum in a closet/cabinet to quiet it down. From Amazon

You can do whatever, but these are a good start, and pretty reasonable in price.
