Dust Collection Exhaust Adapter for M-Series
Description
Scope of delivery The universal exhaust adapter for your STEPCRAFT M-Series CNC System!
The exhaust adapter is attached with four neodymium magnets, which allow for quick and easy assembly and disassembly. The Exhaust Adapter features automatic height compensation which allows the brush to float on the surface of the work material and remain there independently of the Z-axis position. This ensures that you are always maintaining positive contact with the material, keeping all the dust trapped inside the brush for the vacuum to remove. The guide features igus bearings, which are integrated into the Z-axis. The Exhaust Adapter can be fixed in the upper position with a magnetic lock for maintenance work, tool changes, or for takeing photos or video of your workpiece being cut.
**The Exhaust Adapter is NOT compatible with the Automatic Tool Changer without the use of the ATC Tool Magazine with dust boot control system**

PRODUCT FAQ:
How Do I Connect This To My Shop Vac?
A: The diameter of the hose that comes with this system is metric but a 1" adapter will work fine to connect it to your shop vac.
We recommend this adapter which you can buy from Home Depot for less than $12 - LINK HERE
What Size Shop-Vac Do I Need For This Dust Collection System?
A: You do not need a large shop vac for this system since the overall flow is limited to the diameter of the hose. This system works perfectly with a small vacuum such as the Rigid SH06001 model from Home Depot, which is a 3.5HP Vacuum for less than $60 - LINK HERE
