    BJ - that looks like something out of an Arnold Schwartzenegger movie (try getting that spelled right)

    Default dust collection system

    There is only system that worked for me. I have reduced my dust/corian dust or any other type of dust to a mimimum. Why try to reinvent the wheel and I', sure there others that will support their version of the DC attachments but there is only one for me and that is:
    D.C.-Top Mount Insert @ Ringneckblues.com Get the dust out!!

    It is simple to use and install, my machine stays very clean and I can say I have not had any more dust problems since.
    I have a 2.5 hp vac system hooked directly to the Cw, 1 hooked up on the exhaust port and 1 on the DC insert port and it does the job.
    It provides a continuous draft all the way across the surface of the carving area.

    just my input for what it is worth.

    Default Ringneck Blues DC Insert

    I also use Ringneck's top mount and absolutely have to agree. It is a fantastic solution. Almost all of my troubles with the CW have been cured, sucked away by the dc. Now it just needs to make me a better software operator and we are good!

    I am considering pumping some positive pressure through the downdraft port in the bottom of the cw, not that it really needs it, but after all the maintenance, mods, and repairs that have gone on, it's kind of become an obsession/hobby to look at different ways to trick out my cw.

    Thanks for building a quality product, Flloyd

    Anyone tell me about getting the cover off to make the cutout for Fredericks dust collector??

    I built the collector this morning but need to modify the cover!

    It's not hard.
    PM me your regular eMail address and I'll send you a PDF this evening.
    I made the PDF to assist the users that purchase my CW-Vacuum Head Project, and you will just modify the cut-out to accommodate his unit.

    I bought mine used and the guy I bought it from built a table with a slot on the top the same size as the slot between the X-Axis. with a vacuum hole on the "rear" of the machine allowing for suction from below. It seems to work well with the smaller shopvac that I have now. I think a larger one would do significantly better.

    A larger vacumm is always an asset, if you do get a larger one that uses a 4" hose change the connector to a 4" on your machine if possible, one of the big mistakes is run 4" to the machine and then use a 2" neckdown. It will work but not nearly as good!
    Fortunately I do have 2 good sized vacs, a portable 1.5 and one of those monsters with a 3.5 dc motor the electric company loves

    Default CW-Vacuum Head

    Here is a post I made a while back.
    There are other models and methods out there, but I like my research and cost factors.
