Aluminium Profile Type Router - Initial questions

[CNCRY]

Hi All, as promised a few photos of my first "completed" build. I've finally managed to make my first cuts, press go and leave my creation to cut something which is a great moment after starting from almost zero knowledge!
First CAM lesson - Fusion 360 doesn't automatically add D.O.C so plunged the full 10mm and I had to reduce to 20% Feed Rate.
Big thanks to everyone who has answered various newbie questions on here over the past 6 months, Jazz, AndyUK, Kitwin, Doddy, Clive and others !
I still need to level my wasteboard and tram the spindle but It's not far off. My 100mm x 100mm square was 0.05mm or so out, but then the bit was a cheap chinese router bit which claimed to be 1/2" but wasn't exactly.
Aside from sorting a better wasteboard I really need some dust extraction, especially testing on MDF.
Are there any particularly good dust shoes people can recommend - I only have a small distance at the bottom of spindle as the mount is low so something compatible would be good.
I have a basic metal drum type dust extractor - fine for normal woodworking but its loud and I doubt rated for continuous use. What do people use for quieter solutions?

PS. Don't judge me on my messy wiring:) Lucky I have a diagram

Well done Ryan, and let the fun begin. .....you'll kill lots of cutters and material at first but that's just part of the learning we all have to go thru.
Don't be surprised if you have to keep tweaking the machine for a few weeks as it settles down. It's a good idea to run it for a couple of weeks or so then go over it top to bottom checking screws and connections etc, esp motor pulleys/couplers. (Dab a bit of paint on the shafts as a quick visual aid for slippage)

Now you just need to cut the Aztec calendar acid test and we'll let you in the Aztec Gang...

All good stuff. Re. Fusion - are you sure?, I'm on the wrong computer atm to check but there's usually a flag on the 3rd-or-4th tab with something like a "multiple heights" or similar name that allows a DOC to be specified. From memory...bad memory.

In my experience a lot of 'neat' professional wiring is actually messy wiring hidden in swanky looking trunking. Enjoy your new toy.
