Dust Shoe

Dust ShoeThe last thing to do before machining is to drop the dust shoe down to the top of the workpiece, center it on the router collet/tool, and tighten the knob. Because the shoe is mounted to the Z carriage (instead of the router) its position is unaffected by Z moves.

The space between the bottom of the router and the top of the shoe needs to be at least as big as the depth of cut. Deep cuts with short tools could be a problem. Letting more of the tool show is fine so long as ~3/4" of the tool is inside the collet.
