MPCNC Burly Dust Boot

I’ve got a fancy new Kobalt router set up on my MPCNC (Burly version) and did some cuts recently, but my arm got tired holding the vac. I didn’t see any Burly dust collection designs out there I liked, so I started on my own last night. I wanted something that:

• Attaches to the core (not the spindle)
• Is vertically height adjustable
• Doesn’t limit travel distance
• Works with my 2.5" dust collection system
• Allows as much airflow as possible
• Is reasonably spindle independent

Here’s what I came up with. I’d love feedback as I’m sure others have been down this path before.

This is still a work in progress and is likely to change a lot in the coming weeks.
