Excellent work and also the points at the end (40 minutes flew by) where you mention the practicality of the improvement with regard to cost. So many will see something like this and say the manufacturer should have it built in, but then probably wouldn't be willing to pay the extra cost for the upgrade even if it was done in the most cost effective way.

[@MariusHornberger]

Thanks John!

[@TheSpud1129]

John - the sad thing is that the manufacturer will probably steal it and integrate it into the design - without doing the right thing and purchasing the design from Marius. I remember Craftsman stealing the Bionic Wrench, or Black and Decker stealing the Workmate Workbench literally 10 minutes after the inventor pitched the idea to them (I happen to know the inventor.) It's total BS.

[@JohnHeisz]

@@TheSpud1129 No, the truly sad thing is that you and so many other people think that way. Manufacturers don't need to "steal" ideas like this, despite the two examples (out of billions) you hold up to prove the rule.

[@smaug1234]

@@JohnHeisz well some Manufactures certainly are not above idea theft, it is kind of the spirit of engineering. Taking ideas you see from something and using them in a different way that suits the requirements of a given project. Maybe its like music, everything has already been written or invented we just mix it up and call it new. Either way this video as you said flew by. I would think this would lead to more job offers then people who want to steal his ideas.

[@TheSpud1129]

@@JohnHeisz John - not saying that they all do steal ideas, but - the sad thing is that some do. I'd hate to be the Inventor of the Bionic Wrench, go to a sales pitch meeting (totally legit) with Craftsman to pitch the idea, be told that it isn't practical - and then have them reproduce it INSTANTLY after I left. I'd like to imagine that he's doing ok for himself - but to have unlimited funds and the speed to mass-produce very quickly - with zero repercussions or fear of getting sued - would be a major kick in the balls. I've been in the industry now for 27 going on 28 years, and there was a time in my life where I was directed to "modify" someones idea that was pitched to my employer. Naturally, I refused...and they gave the project to someone else to complete. It happens a lot more than you could imagine. Being an engineer, designer, woodworker, hobbyist, I do take pride in engineering and designing components and ideas from scratch, and I take great pride in the fact that I can appreciate you and so many others on YT for your original and practical content. I've purchased quite a few plans from you (you along with Izzy, Marius, Frank and Matthias are my top 5.) Thanks for commenting and having dialogue. That's what makes it a better community and space to engage.

[@roncooper6302]

I was a design cost engineer, a designer’s worst nightmare, a devil’s advocate. Every engineer will design a ‘Rolls Royce’, but to make a product saleable the costs must be kept down. That said you are a magnificent engineer and FELDER should be paying you a consultant’s retainer fee. Best regards.

[@chrishb7074]

The design cost argument is winnable here because it is an objectively better product, which is absolutely in line with e.g. Felder and Festool business models. Factor in the liability angle where any dust is increasingly seen as a health problem plus potential for containment of milling bits breaking off and you have a good case in the real world, beyond the enclave of cost accounting. There will need to be rules for not using it on heads with any additional pitch or roll axis, but that will need a multi-axis dust shoe too.

[@TheSpud1129]

Ron - being an engineer and designer for the last 28 years, I don't view you as "our worst nightmare" You're the voice of reason that keeps us on the straight and narrow. I'd like to think of our jobs as two fingers in a glove, without eachother, there would be massive problems.

[@smash5967]

I mean, I don't think he's directly on their payroll, but they do give him tools from time to time. I think this CNC is one of them.

[@manfredschmalbach9023]

I don't know whether You agree, but I as an engineer out in the field for three decades plus change (mostly boat building and tunnel industry machinery), I wish every cost controller and original designer had to do repair work out in the field on rainy/snowy December days shortly before sunset with "cost controlled" tooling on "cost controlled" machinery and a buncha cost controllers the customer chased on his heels *_before_* they were allowed to design even a single screwed connection ......

[@tomhayes350]

Wow! 'The drag chain was not big enough so I printed my own - and improved the design...' ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! How did you develop such an amazing brain for things like this? I personally can think outside the box - but you think outside the suburb! Absolutely amazing. Inspiring me to add another dimension to my projects. An honour to watch your brain at work Marius.

[@StuffMadeHere]

Awesome design. I really like the highly integrated motor mount. You should find a friend with a plasma cutter or water jet so you can avoid the lathe shenanigans to make that metal ring (though I probably would have done the same thing as you ;)

@@MariusHornberger Problem: The Dust-Shoe is a bad bad boy and useless. Solution: Introduce more complexity, more tech and moving parts around this part!!! SCOTTY, I need this in 12 hours. Scotty: Captain, I will do it in 6! :)) Sorry for that joke(?) and the following, because that is a really great project and the implementation ist a Bobby Dazzler, @Marius!;) Another engineering practice (better eng-fu), most people don't know or think about is: Something doesn't work? Let's redesign it completely, or even better: Let's get RID OF IT! Researching about airflow or talking to an expert about this problem would have lead to another solution. A suction nozzle that optimally directs the airflow around the work area without any fold or mechanical overhang. Especially with the performance offered by a full-fledged industrial dust collector, this would have been a real alternative. "Luftstromhygiene" ist ja kein Hexenwerk ... also wenn man z.B. den französischen Ingenieuren von Mobylette glaubt, die uns schon seit grauer Vorzeit absolut unverständliche Ansaugstutzenformen für ihre Mofas um die Ohren hauen:) I'm just a spoilsport... sorry for that, Marius.

[@HardyP2006]

Marius, you are one proof of the „German Engineering Heritage“ being passed on to the next generation! Even if your conclusion has its points, every product/feature needs at first to be implemented somehow, and THEN a company can do their „routine“ work in checking what a feature might be worth for the market, and optimise the design accordingly to cost! And it‘s by FAR easier to strip-down/cost-optimise an existing design, than design something fancy to a given (fixed) target cost!

[@smaug1234]

For a guy who started out on KZbin with great fit and finish to his projects and videos, you keep getting better and better.

Aber der Professor wollte nur ne Lösung und sagte auch, dass sie gerne utopisch sein darf. Der ganze Aspekt der Kostenanalyse wird einem erst dann wirklich bewusst, wenn man selber drin steckt.

I've had to engineer a couple of tools for the mechanical demolition business that made the job go easier. One was a tool to lift chiller equipment sections, the other one was for removing steel backer plate from the walls where we were removing fin tube for heating.

[@perrybrown4985]

I built a floating shoe for my CNC - but I didn't need to use any complex control. My dust shoe simply drops freely onto the work independently from the spindle and rests on the tips of the moderately stiff bristles. I used the bristle stuff they put around truck wheels to control dirt and water spray... The shoe rides up and down perfectly over ridges on the work, and work holding fixtures simply pass through the bristles. I have a stop attached so that when the spindle is raised for a traverse, the shoe is lifted such that the tips of the bristles can't get lower than the tip of the tool. This makes sure that the shoe doesn't drop and get tangled in anything during rapid moves and it also serves to periodically "reset" the bristles to be straight (although their stiffness sort of makes this unnecessary). My only minor issue is that the current design slightly limits the tool plunge depth - I need to devise some sort of "bellows vacuum seal" between the spindle and shoe to overcome this deficiency.

[@claudiolorini3311]

[@suit1337]

[@macbouncer8525]

Very nice work. I went a similar but different route on the vertical adjustment side of things. ("Sweet Dreams CNC") RC model type servo, switch and springs. The lightweight springs and gravity hold the shoe in the down position on the work piece regardless of the depth of cut. For tool changes, the RC hobby servo via a lever activated by a switch moves the shoe up out of the way to let you change tools. Your solution is nicely "over engineered". (A high form of compliment! :-)
