This is Sweepy Pro, the first Carbide 3D fixed height dust boot, made only for the Shapeoko 5 Pro.
It’s a little unruly, long in the neck, and a little funky looking when not on a machine, so much so that the internal project name was ‘Sweepy UAF’ (take a guess). However, this little guy is eager to please.
Sweepy Pro is perfect for wood, plastic, or composite materials. We recommend using a high-flow dust collection and separator unit for maximum effect. Like most dust boots, you won’t see a huge benefit if you’re cutting metal, but it’ll handle almost everything else with ease.
We did everything we could to make this the most functional fixed-height dust boot available:
- The vacuum hose mounts to a fixed location behind the gantry.
- All-new bases molded from clear polycarbonate.
- Height is adjustable using a thumbscrew on the bottom of the X/Z assembly.
- Two clear polycarbonate bases are included, one with a brush for maximum dust removal, and one without a brush for maximum visibility.
- If you don’t need Sweepy for a project, you can remove the base and then slide the unit up to keep it out of the way.
- Comes with adapters to work with 2in., 2.5in., and 35mm hose.
Please be aware that the Sweepy Pro only works with the Shapeoko 5 Pro.
Note: Sweepy boots should always be removed when performing a tool change.
