Finally got this assembled. Assembly was about 3 8 hr days and figuring out software another 5 hr. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/avidcnc/original/1X/141e9ed0eb98a12a66981c3bf92c813ba5859900.jpeg) ---

That’s awesome! Looking sharp. It is such a relief to see the machine move after all the hours of setting it up. You look like you’re in need of a dust shoe. I may be a little biased, but I developed what I feel like is a pretty awesome dust manifold for mine. I liked it so much I decided to list it for sale on Etsy. It has some fantastic features like a magnetic hose adapter that you can quickly detach to clean up the dust on your machine bed. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/avidcnc/original/1X/8c71e789ca6cb8f427036db1d068dcc04781875a.jpeg) [Dust Manifold Avid CNC 4HP 75mm - Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1296161530/dust-manifold-avid-cnc-4hp-75mm?click_key=8f4034a41a6bfed4964d815710f40fd7c3daeaab%3A1296161530&click_sum=e7ace227&ref=shop_home_active_1&crt=1) ---

Nice and clean. What are you planning to do with it? ---

Looks great. The assembly process is a valuable experience. It will help you troubleshoot the machine in the future. I’m interested in that dust shoe, do you have it for the 3 hp spindle? ---

Milling out the dust shoe is messy business. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/avidcnc/original/1X/3acbfda663c5ec63bdb3145f22998ae59df5b871.jpeg) ---

I see your store in Etsy shows out of stock. Do you know when you may have one available?
