Nighthawk dust boot for 80mm spindle with 2.5in dust collection.
****Important****
As some spindles are slightly different than others before you buy this dustboot you need to measure the distance from your collet to the bottom of your spindle (see attached picture for measurment) to determine if you need the 2.5 inch or 3 inch boot. If your collet sits 2.5 inches from the bottom of the spindle you need the 2.5 inch bottom this allows the boot to sit about even with the collet then the brushes will hang past the bit. If your collet sits 3 inches from the bottom of the spindle you need the 3 inch boot which will allow the bottom of the boot to sit about even with the collet and the the brushes will hang past your bit.
If you are confused don't hesitate to send us a message and we can help you figure out what size you need.
** if you have the Elite foreman with the 80mm mount from onefinity at this time if you use our thumbscrew it can hit the right front foot. The allen key screw that gets sent with your boot will still work.
NEW MATERIAL!! 80mm dust boot tops are now made from Lexan. This material is unbreakable. However this material is also easy to scratch, we do our best to keep it free of scratches however your top may come with a few slight scratches.

How this boot fits together:
The top part of the boot fixes to your router and is tightened with a thumb screw or hex bolt. The bottom part of the boot has magnets that allow the dust boot to stay attached to your router then if you need to change bits you can just pull the bottom off change your bit and reattach the boot without having to take the top off. The hose port is also magnetic which allows you to remove your hose without detaching it. The brushes are magnetic too, this allows you to be able to swap out brush sizes or replace the brushes due to wear and tear.
*We are only stocking black for the 80mm spindles because it takes a lot of filament to make these boots, however if you want a different color send us a message and we will gladly print a boot in another color.*
