I recently had my first experience cutting a board that had to much moisture in it.....I don't know why I never took this into consideration, but OMG what a fricking mess it made. The project had a four hour cut time, so like most of my projects once the machine is on, I walk away from it and keep a open ear listening to the CW doing its thing.
Well a long story short, when I returned to check on the machines progress after about two hours I was shocked to find that the wet/moist dust was stuck to everything.....and I mean everything, so I had to stop the project and kept vacuuming it out til it was completed.
During one of the breaks to clean the machine, my father called me to see what I was up to and I explained to him what I had done and the mess that I had.....and he told me that he had just bought himself something, but it sounded like I needed it more than him so he was on his way.
My Dad gifted a Shop-Vac 1-1/4 Micro Cleaning Kit.....and what a great gift it was, the attachments linked together made a great tight quarter cleaning tool, the soft brush attachements work great for cleaning the upper tracks.....just a great gift.....and for $12, I wanted to share this with you guys.

Today I went out and purchased a dust collector from Harbor Freight.....I'm getting ready to pimp out my CW with a nice custom stand with build in dust collector.....I've learned my lesson.....and a special thanks to "AskBud".....you have been a great help to me and I want you to know that I appreciate it.
Hope my story can help just one person.....best wishes to all!
