Sorry. Underwhelmed.
I mean I am not gonna throw away my suck it and switch, but it’s a great value for a casual user or beginner who might not be thrilled about having to immediately sink $150 on something so unsexy.

They were placed in the shop because we’ve begun shipping them with new machines (if you bought in the past week, contact us at support@carbide3d.com) — we’ll list them as in stock once we have a sufficient production to allow that.

makes me wonder about either a “preorder” feature or just a “just take my money and send me everything new under $500” thing

The preorder thing (would always be nice) had come up before with the good 'ole touch probe and I’m sure will always come up. As @WillAdams mentioned back then, the site isn’t set up for that 
Staying on topic, I do love the simple design and price point of this dust boot! Very competitive

Took me a year and a half to get my hands on a touch probe so I guess I can be patient for a while more lol. Waiting list perhaps, to keep some kind of a place in line?

Rob I’m about ready to throw mine away, and I have not even received it yet!!! I ordered it on the 6th of January and it has not even shipped yet!! I have been in contact with them and to top it off I have to modify the brushes when it does arrive! Something about they did not have the correct brushes in stock… Pay that kind of money for it and still have to alter it to use it, not a good way to get happy customers!
I wished I had known that Carbide 3d was going to offer their version, I would have waited to order my machine this month instead of last month Just my luck day late and a dollar short!

Sounds more like $30 short 
I kid I kid.
I also try to cut people a little slack when they are getting their side hustle on, but the rapid ascendence of the PNWCNC dust boot coupled with the constant complaints about suck it ship times should be a good lesson for us all.

Well, I want a Sweepy !!!

Is there any performance info on how the weight of the sweepy (with presumably a portion of the weight of a suspended vacuum hose) affects or stresses the z-axis vertical precision? I would be most interested in above performance info employing the dewalt (or makita) routers in a GT2 belted shapeoko 3… For example, would the mass increase cause any stepper motor slippage? Does the increased mass have any implications for max acceleration value?
I currently have the SuckIt, and that system hangs its weight on the stationary z-axis mounting plate/crossbar…
The Sweepy is tiny and quite light — I think it’d be imperceptible to the machine in comparison to the cutting forces.

I think it is awesome that Carbide are including one with each new machine. Should help encourage healthy CNC habits from the get go. Now to wait till one is in stock…

Nice! Any plans for a Nomad dust boot in the future?

Guess these are selling fast. I received an email saying they were in stock today. Four hours later when I get a chance to actually order… out of stock (for the carbide router). I’m going to have to get faster on the trigger.
It was a very small batch put up in the store — hopefully a bunch more will go up presently.
Can I pre pay for one lol! I was also too slow.
I’m afraid that our shop isn’t set up to allow pre-orders.
