There’s quite a few examples of different dust hose routings in the older threads here for inspiration, here’s a couple, search terms “hose” “extraction” “dust boot” etc…
I’ve been struggling with a dust collection system for my XXL. I’m considering a retractable arm that the hose would hang from and would be on a french cleat mount that could be move away when not in use. Anyone have any designs they are willing to share? Here is my deign so far.

Sorry if I’m bring back an old topic.
HI. I was looking for feedback on a vacuum related project that I have undertaken to see if someone had done something similar or had suggestions. I have a Suck It dust boot on order and was looking for a way to suspend the power cable to the router and obviously the vacuum hose. I looked at the solution that XCarve sells which is basically a bent piece of pipe with a swivel. So first, I thought why not replicate the arm out of ABS plumbing pipe. Then I thought why not make the pipe the supp…
Hi,
I had a terrible hose routing system going for a while, and designing a better system has been on my list of things to do.
I started with hose adapter designs a few weeks ago, a Deluxe 3 piece and a simpler one piece, that work on the Suckit and the Sweepy with the excellent PeachTree 2-1/2" hose. I recently added to the collection by designing a 5 piece modular hose routing system that bolts to the top of the Nema 23 motor on the HDZ.
The system is modular, I can make different size ring…
Recently got my Shapeoko Pro (Standard) set up and doing some test/sample cuts. After standing there holding one end of the hose while a 5 minute cut was executed, I realized that the next order of business for me needed to be routing the dust collection hose. I see a lot of setups where the hose is suspended from above, and I briefly tried that out in my garage shop.
Now while it makes sense to rout the hose up the middle when you’ve got an enclosure around your Shapeoko, mine’s just on a tabl…
