nice! you need the brush part which will complete the vacuum chamber around your bit.
and when you go to cut, you need to do what you can to make sure the brush part is in contact with the workpiece, it just makes the dust collector suck up way more dust!
you could also just make a shroud out of cardboard and tape
my last job made huge mess because the dust shoe wasnt low enough to the table.

Yea I thought I had written I still need to cut the flute for the brush but I guess not! Maybe I hit my head a little hard in that fall last week haha
Yea Just the couple pieces I cut San's dust guard made a massive mess. I JUST cleaned the shop out too!
I have some strip brush, 3 inch, that I bought from Grainger. Did't cost much at all. I think it was $18 shipped or so.

Mechanics love it for cleaning up oil spillsknightsofnii wrote:nice. I'm really happy with the kent cnc one so far.
I have to figure out how to keep dust off my gantry rails, best way is really
to ensure good contact with the dust shroud, and that the vacuum is strong.
My dust bag is full, I'd love to find someone who would take the sawdust.

imo cyclone attachment is way to go.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

cyclone, i have a makeshift one i built. You can see it in photos somewhere on the site.
It captures the larger pieces of sawdust, and only allows the fine stuff to go thru the dust collector.
Regardless, I still have to do something with the dust I collect.
I dont feel right about simply throwing it away, but what to do with mdf dust

I don't think there's anything you can do with mdf dust except to make more mdf out of it. I made a separator for my planer. It's basically dust collector that sits on top of a large barrel. The heavy stuff falls in the barrel and the dust goes into a bag. Not the greatest for colecting tiny dust particles which is why I also wear a dust mask. I compost all the raw wood dust/particles/chips collected from planing. It takes awhile to compost. I mix it with leaves, grass, garden/veggie waste, etc.

i made the exact same thing, with a metal garbage can, a mdf circle with 2 holes, and some 4" hose elbows. and a bit of caulk to hold them in place and a bicycle tube as a "gasket"skidesmond wrote: I made a separator for my planer.
