My latest dust shoe is similar to @JeffParish 's. It’s working really well. So nice to be able to walk away from a job for an hour without concern that the kerf will fill up with chips.
Things I like about this shoe
- can change the bit without removing the shoe
- shoe height above stock is easily adjustable, without tools
- keeps the kerf very clean
- bit is always visible
- shoe is easy to remove, without tools
- shoe is compact and low mass
- inlet port has a cool looking vortex generator
