Shopping advice / water-cooled spindle

Oh, one more thing since you’re here: so are your plans for the dust shoe ?

My hacked Suckit arms that worked with the HDZ and the router, does not fit anymore with the larger spindle mount. And I have had enough of re-working it. And, I dropped the brackets and gained almost 5cm / 2’’ of X-travel, so I definitely don’t want side arms anymore.

I cannot go for the “dust jet” approach with vacuum hose in the back, on my standard SO3 the controller is in the way and I’m too lazy to relocate it.

I like the one you were using a while back (this one), and it would be a good exercise for me to practice Fusion360.

But, I think I may miss the Z-independent aspect of the Suckit.

And then I stumbled upon this, and it looks like a fantastic combination of a spindle-mounted shoe like you had, and a Z-independent shoe. Actually I already ordered a cheap rack boot, I need to try this and figure out if it works.

Anyway, I’m interested to hear what you had in mind shoe-wise.
