dust hose bracket
in the best orientation for your particular dust hose,
using the two
small screws

For hoses smaller than 2” (51mm) in diameter, attach the
bracket closer to the sled edge, aligned with the pre-drilled pilot holes.
(B)
For larger
diameter hoses, attach the bracket against the Z axis assembly.
17.
(A)
Attach the black or orange, shorter Velcro dust collection strap to the dust hose

Drew’s Note: The M2 needs
about 8-10lbs (4kg) of
weight to move properly
and safely keep the bit
held to your material using
gravity. That’s why we use
two bricks!
