Cen-Tec Quick-connect 46mm for flexible dust hose
Print Profile(1)

Description
This is a remix of the great Makers Manual flexible dust arm to provide flexible and effective dust collection for a pillar drill.
The standard pillar drill bracket has a simple hole for inserting a vacuum hose. I use the excellent Cen-Tec Quick-connect adapters for all my tools so remixed the pillar drill bracket to include a Cen-Tec adapter.
The versions (print plates) of the adapter are provided, one as originally designed, with the dust outlet connector bending out from the drill pillar, one with the outlet connector in a straight line, and one with the dust outlet connector bending inwards towards the drill pillar.
The three versions are to provide flexibility on how you want to fit the bracket to the pillar drill. For me fitting the bracket to the rear of the pillar drill and with the Cen-Tec adapter curving forward was the most practical, but your arrangement of drill may differ.
Print with the adapter pointing upwards, supports are needed. I printed in PETG for strength.
Brackets are for a 46mm drill pillar.
Assemble with 35mm M6 bolts and nuts
