It seems like most of the sawdust issues are caused by the sawdust building up, which may cause problems with the friction rollers as they move the wood.
If I use a sled, and have the sides of the sled (or rails) 1" tall, and my wood being carved is only 3/4" thick....then the friction rollers will roll along those rails, and the sawdust will stay down on my wood. Shouldn't that eliminate a lot of the problems sawdust buildup can cause?
My rails are only 1/4" wide...so sawdust really isn't building up on them.
