2. Installation Guide
Follow these steps to properly install the Genmitsu CNC Dust Shoe on your compatible spindle motor or compact router.
2.1 Compatibility Check
The dust shoe features an innovative gasket design for seamless adaptation to either 65mm or 69mm diameter CNC spindle motors or compact routers. Ensure your machine's spindle diameter matches one of these sizes.

2.2 Assembly Steps
- Prepare the Gasket: If your spindle is 65mm, place the appropriate 65mm gasket into the top cover of the dust shoe. For 69mm spindles, no gasket is needed as the dust shoe directly accommodates this size.
- Install the Top Cover: Insert the top cover of the dust shoe onto your router's spindle. Secure it in place by fastening the provided screw.
- Attach the Bottom Cover: Align the magnets on the bottom cover with the top cover and attach it. Ensure the brush on the bottom cover is flush with the end of your cutting bit for optimal dust collection.
- Connect the Hose: Install your dust collection hose to the adapter on the dust shoe. The hose adapter has an inner diameter of 38mm (1.5 inches).

3. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Genmitsu CNC Dust Shoe operates passively with your CNC machine's spindle. Ensure your dust collection system is active and properly connected to the dust shoe's hose adapter before beginning any cutting operations.
- Power On Dust Collector: Activate your dust collection system prior to starting your CNC machine's spindle.
- Begin Machining: Proceed with your CNC cutting tasks as usual. The dust shoe's brush will contain debris, and the vacuum will extract it through the hose.
- Monitor Operation: The transparent design allows you to observe the cutting process and ensure effective dust collection.

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your dust shoe.
- Brush Cleaning: Periodically inspect and clean the planting brush to remove accumulated debris. The brush is designed to be neat and firm, contributing to effective dust collection.
- Brush Replacement: The split design of the dust shoe makes it easy to replace worn brushes. Simply detach the bottom cover, remove the old brush, and install a new one.
- General Cleaning: Wipe down the transparent ABS body with a soft, damp cloth to maintain visibility and prevent dust buildup on the exterior.
5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with the Genmitsu CNC Dust Shoe.
- Poor Dust Collection:
- Ensure the dust collection hose is securely attached and free of blockages.
