What does this attach to? Do you know which version that one is? I think I’d like that the hose attaches from the rear for easier viewing of what the spindle is doing, although I do often disconnect the hose to vacuum up stray dust from changing the bit or whatever. Do you still like it two years later?
Just ordered the v3 this weekend can’t wait to install it and see how it performs And I see that I need to order the vacuum square to round adapter for the hose lol
The v3 has had the dust collection area increased by removing a web that runs across the boot pretty difficult to describe pwncnc has an assembly video for the v3 that does a great job showing the difference with both versions in hand
Hi Chris, we love all the great videos. I am new to CNC and have had many moments of frustration trying to figure some these things out. Have you ever considered making some videos (or lessons) on the nuts and bolts of Carbide Create/Motion. I would even pay for the the information. It could sure help a lot of new folks out. What do you say?
Thanks! I’m trying to compile a list of things that frustrate new users the most so I can do a video on that. Would you mind posting some of the things you’d like to know more about, or wish you knew more about when you got started. You can email me if you prefer. Chris@fullsteamdesigns.com
Got the boot for a xmas gift after watching your video. I had the Suckit which works pretty well. First impressions of the Pwn is that it's pretty flimsy. The attachment in front pops up and down when going over my low profile hold down clamps. If its suppose to do that, why put magnets? Installation was a piece of cake but when reading the instructions, it mentions you might have to do minor modifications like filing the support arms. I think for $120 it should be ready to go and tested before delivery. Another concern is that the brushes can not be in contact with the stock material. If it is, the boot will shift within the arms. The magnets suck and doesn't do crap holding the boot in place. For $120 I should be getting stronger magnets. I'm back to the Suckit dustboot because after the 4th day of having the Pwn, the hose connected to the adapter in the back got hung up to one of my hold down clamps causing the boot to come off and getting chewed up in the bit. After watching your video I noticed your boot is about a 1/4" above the material. For $120, that is unacceptable. The only good thing about it was the dust collection but the cheap construction was not worth $120. Just my opinion...
I had the boot sitting a little higher in this video because it was hitting my guides. I have since fixed this by changing them out to ones that sit lower. Now I run the brushes right against my material. Do you have the bracket that connects the brackets to the z axis? That adds a lot of rigidity.
@@ChrisPowellFSD I do. The problem is there's too much flex where the boot slides into the arm causing the boot to shift within the slots. In the few days I had it on, I had the boot to a height where the brushes just grazed the material and still there was a lot of shifting going on.
@@jdogg4855 I am sorry to hear about the poor experiences you're having with the boot design and greatly appreciate your extremely valuable feedback. Would you mind sharing your experiences within the PwnCNC Users Group? (facebook.com/groups/2993800347512326/) I know everyone who has gathered there is really helpful and the pictures/details, if you're willing to provide them, will help me evolve the boot to be even better. (The only bad feedback is when it goes unsaid.)
I love the idea of having a camera near the work face. Unfortunately the fact that it's attached to the Z axis and therefore bounces up and down gives me motion sickness. I was impressed by the dust shoe and as I'm at the point in my CNC build where a dust shoe is required, I'll be leaning heavily on this design.
I have since moved it to a mount that attaches to the z axis pulley guard. Now it doesn’t follow the up and down movement of the z. It’s a lot better. If you watch some of my newer videos, you can see how it looks now and the difference in the video.
Subbed. I don’t have a machine nor I have a house. I’m going thru your videos to see how you manage working with this indoors. Maybe I find a solution to use it in the apartment 🤔🙄
They do offer a smaller machine. The only issue I could see is from the noise. I have the machine in an enclosure, so it’s pretty quiet, but the vacuum I run for the dust collection is really loud.
I just used one of the 1/4” camera mount to GoPro adapters originally. I drilled and tapped a hole in my router mount. I didn’t like how it moved up and down with the z axis, so I moved it to my upper belt/pulley guard. Then I added an aluminum arm and some pivot attachments to get the right angle on everything.
Hey Chris, did you ever run into the issue that the back of the dust boot and the hose is hitting the clamps, even if when I raise the boot to the highest position (tho the brush is not the work piece any more and the dust can escape)
Hello my friend, I'm sorry I'm asking about a previous video . when you use the DIAMOND SPRING LOADED in the cnc. my question is . Do you have to be circling? I mean the cnc spindle motor has to be on ? Thank you
Have you had any issues with the dust hose being behind the X rail? Any snagging or issues you may have run into or adjusted after using it a year now? Thanks Chris!
It rubbed against the zip ties on the back of the rail, but didn’t hurt anything. The new version they make has a hard tube that runs up the back, so it doesn’t touch anything.
D Gramsz this was a Yonico 60 degree. They’re not top of the line, but the work well for the money. I have some new, higher end ones coming. I think they’ll really help with getting a better finish.
I make flags also i do good locally also. I don't have a cnc so im still making them from furring strips. I had to stop accepting Xmas orders, I'm swamped but not complaining.
Hi Chris. How much space did you lose mouting the hose at the back of the x-rail? Do you still have it set up the same way, or have you made any modifications to the hose? Thanks!
What does everyone think of this dust boot? Are there any improvements you’d like to see?
Getting ready to put in an order after watching this video.
So far the best Othere.

Great video Chris!! It's great to be able to see the quality of the parts that Daniel puts into the products at PwnCNC.
Just ordered the v3 this weekend can’t wait to install it and see how it performs
And I see that I need to order the vacuum square to round adapter for the hose lol
What’s the difference between the v2 and v3?
The v3 has had the dust collection area increased by removing a web that runs across the boot
pretty difficult to describe
pwncnc has an assembly video for the v3 that does a great job showing the difference with both versions in hand
Ah gotcha. Sometimes I have a problem sucking up the long strands so that’s probably a good idea.

Here is the link to that video Chris
Thanks man!
Very helpful, thanks! I'm assembling my new XXL as I write this.
Thanks for the video, u have a nice set-up wished I would have seen urs before I got mine
Thanks
Great video Chris! Can you link the video about the depth stop collars. Really interested in doing the same, I hate having to change bits and rezero.
Thanks. Here’s the video link. I’ve also added it to the video. Thanks for the reminder. th-cam.com/video/9ns1lNJyaYI/w-d-xo.html

@@PwnCNC are you the owner of the pwn?
Jay yes. It’s just a one man hobby shop and I try my best to do the right thing and provide engineering solutions to problems I run into myself.

Friend of mine is printing the parts. Is there a cut file, etc., for the acrylic?
I’m not sure. I think that’s offered in the build kit they offer. Check their website.

How are you connecting your action camera to the CNC, can you send us a link to what's biting onto the router?

No I haven’t, but I run really low profile clamps. I use the PwnCNC toe clamps.
Hello my friend, I'm sorry I'm asking about a previous video . when you use the DIAMOND SPRING LOADED in the cnc. my question is . Do you have to be circling? I mean the cnc spindle motor has to be on ? Thank you
No, it should not be running.

@@ChrisPowellFSD thanks for the reply!
Chris have you mounted the Jtech laser? If so what mount (front or off centered) would you suggest? I have the PWNCNC Dust boot V2.
I haven’t. I think I saw some people talking about it in the PwnCNC Facebook group.
Which v bits are you using? Manufacturer?
D Gramsz this was a Yonico 60 degree. They’re not top of the line, but the work well for the money. I have some new, higher end ones coming. I think they’ll really help with getting a better finish.
What depth do you cut your stripes?
.075”.
is that a 2" dia flex hose?
Yes it is.
HDZ version?
Yup. They’ve got them for a bunch of different setups, including the HDZ.
Cool thanks
Are your flags on Etsy? I seen some that look just like yours
Board beams the name
I haven’t put anything on there yet. Seems like a flooded market, and I do pretty well locally.
I make flags also i do good locally also. I don't have a cnc so im still making them from furring strips. I had to stop accepting Xmas orders, I'm swamped but not complaining.
It’s a good problem to have!
What do you have as your dust collector?
I use a Ridgid vacuum with a dust deputy.
Where did you get your dust boot from?
pwncnc.com
Hi Chris. How much space did you lose mouting the hose at the back of the x-rail? Do you still have it set up the same way, or have you made any modifications to the hose? Thanks!
I just had to move my machine forward a little in the enclosure. The hose is 2.5” diameter. Yea I still have it set up that way.
What did you use to attach hose?
Just a hose clamp. Now they make different attachments. Check out my video on the t track waste board. I go over my new dust collection setup in it.
