I just assembled the V10 dustboot for my 80 mm water cooled spindle. It is the 2.5” dust port version. I’m noticing that I’m barely getting the hose clamp for the dust boot around the bottom of the spindle before I cannot fully seat the magnetic spacers. In other words, I have to have the dust boot as low as physically possible on the 80mm body in order to be able to fully connect the spacers and brush track without the body of the motor getting in the way. Does that sound normal?
One other issue I’m having is not being able to fully tighten down the maglock dust port to the acrylic. There is a tiny lip that is preventing the screw that secures the maglock to the acrylic from fully contacting the acrylic. So the maglock has a slight wiggle when moved. Is that normal? Im also wondering why there aren’t 3 or 4 screws to secure the maglock to the acrylic instead of just two.
Just wanting to make sure I’m seeing this all correctly.
Is the screw stopping it, or is the spacer hitting the buttom of the spindle? There should be little cut outs for the screw. Put the spacer on the acrylic, then put that on the spindle.
It is hitting the bottom of the spindle. I guess I was thinking that the boot could move up further on the spindle, but it is pretty much designed to have the hose clamp tighten around the very bottom of the 80mm portion of the spindle.
One thing I’m a little disappointed in was that the hose clamp of the dust boot made a little gouge in my Z-slider when I raised it. I didn’t realize that it was sticking out to where it would interfere with the Z-slider. Not going to affect the performance of the machine, but a little put off that I had to modify the hose clamp in order for the boot to work properly.
