My list of modifications.
Paramount on the list would be providing a ground conductor.
Static was discussed elsewhere on this forum and with computers and servo drives good bonding to ground is a must.
If the CW guys see this, please comment. I don’t want to put a bullet in my warranty.
Second would be an air curtain blowing the chips over the uncut portion to be sucked out by a dust collector.
Third would be a combination surge suppressor, current sensing outlet that will detect the increase amp draw of the CW motor and switch on separate outlets for the vacuum system and air curtain solenoid. If the CW motor is running the vacuum and air will start automatically.
I do this stuff all the time.
Fourth would be a logging ammeter. My fluke DVM has this feature and increased amp draw would indicate bit wear, flex shaft binding and other potential problems.
I will be adding to the list later.
