Making a cnc router dust boot
« on: March 12, 2016, 04:59:43 PM »
The Isel machine is running really great and I recently built a dust boot for it. I've been using it for a few weeks and I need to change the bristles but it is working well.

Chris,

I liked the video... A couple of pointers on production though...

1. if yu have a cad model of the piece you are making, show it at the start of the video. Makes it easier so we know what you are building.

2. at 1:51, the machine drowns out your voice and it is difficult to hear you.

Good job!

Eric

Cheers Eric, I enjoy making my videos for fun. I know I'm not much of a machinist but the bits I make function!  That clip at 1.51 should be a lower volume but somehow the audio channel has crept back up. What software do you guys use for decent video editing?

I did have a CAD model and great tip, I should have shown that at the start. Thanks for watching.

Nice one. I watched it without sound.

There is no continuous bristle available. We use brush stricp that has aluminium channel on the back. Pretty stiff. It is used as a dust/debris guard.

What glue you use to glue that bristle?

Hi Pekka - without sound by choice?  :doh:   :wave:

I used silicone sealant. I`ve used it as an adhesive for a number of different jobs and found it to be excellent - but messy to use.

Choice? Yesh. Daughter was sleepping and I was too lazy to find all headsets that she has hiden/used.

I used silicone sealant. I`ve used it as an adhesive for a number of different jobs and found it to be excellent - but messy to use.

Ok, That should work. Silicone sealant is not my first choice anymore, it tends to corrode metals and rot wood, but that should not be issue here.

Hi Chris... Nothing was meant as a negative. As someone who watches a bunch of videos on the 'tube, just wanted to give you some pointers to what seems to work for watching.

I don't make videos. Yet. Doubleboost may have an answer for you.

Keep making videos!
