That works really well.

Do put a brace between the mounting of the spindle and the oposite face, otherwise the mount may flex. Probably not as bad as my 35 mm high kress mount but still....

I don't quite follow you. Do you have a sample picture how the 80x80 steel tube would work as dust collector?
Dust is the problem that needs solving in my design though. I was aiming for some simple bracket that holds dust extractor tube...some housing with brushes...I need to put it on the drawing.

For spindle mount I will order tha thick cast aluminium version. Nice and rigid I think.
