Complete with dust shoe:
I have the tube clamped to the z-axis, so it can be set to a height.
The next one would just be on linear rails.
The height of the clamp is only about 30 mm, that requires cross bracing with the rear of the tube or it will flex at high feeds. (It did with this one)
The cast aluminium one is much higer, probably will not need cross brace but you can always add it later, should you need it.
A section of 100 mm pvc pipe can easily be fitted to the 80x80 if you heat it.
