BigFoot Specific Features
- BigFoot can be connected to a 63 mm (2.5”) or 100 mm (4”) pipe, which is standard ducting size for industrial dust extractors. This
enables the following benefits: - Improved waste clearance by enabling a higher air-flow: Large dust extractors have a higher flow rate than shop vacuums
(which use a 38 mm hose) - Allows collection of larger chips without blocking: hose is much less likely to block than a shop vac’s 38 mm hose when dealing
with larger debris such as plywood strings. - Reduces the frequency of bag changes: the 63 or 100 mm system means that the user can capitalise on the larger capacity
dust bag that a static dust extractor has and save time on changing bags. It is also common to use a cyclone separator with this
type of system which further increases capacity.
Halo Status Lighting
BigFoot will come with an extra status lighting PCB which will sit under the ZHead cover plate so it is visible from all sides of the machine. This will help operators and managers keep track of the machines
Replaceable Brush Strips
Brushes surround all three sides to create a good seal against the workpiece. The brush strips are replaceable as a wear item.
Built in Static Handling
The supplied flexible hose has a conductive winding which connects to your ZHead and an earthing point on your extraction ducting to discharge static electricity build up.

Quick Attach Door
BigFoot has a magnetic door which is quick and easy to remove for Z datum probing. The four magnets have a 4.8 kg holding capacity to keep the door from getting knocked off during cutting
