Dust Shoe for Power Route suggestions?

[aquanub]

Hello all!

As I am eagerly awaiting for the arrival of my power route, I am looking into getting a dust collection system up and running as well.

I've already ordered a cyclone dust separator and am actively on the hunt for a shopvac.

What are you guys using for a dust shoe / how are are you guys mounting them to the spindle?
There isn't much available online for purchase yet, and I am not opposed to fabricating one either.

Thanks!

Here is what I have come up with through some trial and error. Works well and collects most of the dust.



It is made from 1/4 MDF. There are some files here if you want to make something similar.

I used a shower door sweep for the skirt. Ordered it here.

Also in this picture you can see my dust collector with the Dust Deputy and a cabinet that holds the shop vac. This reduces the noise from the vac. It is on wheels to make it easy to move around for various equipment in the shop and vacuuming the floor to clean up.

I also put two power strips on the dust collector so I have a fast way to turn the dust collector and router on and off at the same time while keeping power on to the PC, carve king and light continuously. Pics at the post below.
