Sweepy Pro - S5 Pro

Thank you for purchasing the Sweepy Pro for the Shapeoko 5 Pro.

BitSetter

In some instances, the Bitsetter could be higher than your workpiece. It’s vital that you note where this is when starting a job and ensure that the Bitsetter does not get in the way of the dust boot.

When initializing a tool change, it is imperative the lower part of the sweepy pro is removed and the boot top is in the highest position. Failure to remove the boot will result in the spindle hitting the boot.

Note this kit is intended for use with the Carbide VFD and spindle kit, and whilst this will work with the compact router, it will not offer the same travel.

Fitting the X-axis hose support

Bring the X/Z axis to the center of travel - ensuring sufficient visibility and access.
- It's recommended this is done from the rear of the machine.
Remove the four M3 screws holding the drag chains in place.

Remove the two M5 Screws holding the rear drag chain support.

Remove the X drag chain support from the machine.
Fit the X hose support with two M5x10mm screws.
- Note access is restricted - it’s best to approach with a 45 angle with the ball end of the Allen key.

Re-fit the X drag chains to the new support.

Dust boot top assembly

Fit the lower hose support and vac ring with the seven M4x6mm screws provided.
- The lower hose support has a flat section. This should be facing toward the vac ring, as shown.
- Select the appropriate vac ring for your spindle.

Slider Assembly

Apply a small amount of thread lock to the outer rear diameter of the slider supports.

Insert both slider supports in the lower ball screw support.
- This can be done with the Z in the raised position.
The openings should be in line with the M6 Screw thread on the right side of the axis.

Insert the dust boot supports into the slider support from above
Insert the dust boot height adjuster screw and screw clockwise.

To raise or lower the dust boot, rotate the dust boot height adjuster screw clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen.
The right support should lock into position. The left will remain loose.
Insert the two M5x10mm button heads into dust boot supports.
- Apply a small amount of thread lock to these screws and grip the supports at the flanged end and not the shafts.

Fit the flexible section of the hose to the X hose support and lower hose support, sliding it securely over each hose support.

Fitting the dust boot

Either the clear or brushed version of the dust boot will be located on the dust boot base with magnets.
It is essential that you manually push the dust boot onto the dust boot plate to ensure it is clipped on correctly. Do not just rely on locating magnets.
Once in position, you should lock it in place with the two dust boot thumb screws.
These can be inserted from below and tightened with a 3mm hex key as required.

Adjusting the height

To get the best results when using Sweepy Pro, we suggest you either align:

The brush in line with the top of your workpiece
The clear ring approx 2-5mm above your workpiece

To adjust the height - loosen the Dust Dust Boot height adjuster screw counterclockwise, slide the boot up/down, then tighten it by turning the adjuster screw clockwise.

Adapters

Two hose adapters included with Sweepy Pro allow for 2.5 hose or a 35/36mm hose. These fit to the X hose support with dust port.
