    Default Vacuum or blow

    I've taken to giving my machine a blast from a compressor between jobs rather than vacuuming. Am I taking a chance on messing up any sensitive parts?
    Thanks, Bob

    I do it alot. Just be carfull you don't blow the bit sensor mirror off.

    I asked the same question with CW people. They said the sensors are fairly sturdy and you can use compressed air. I use vacuum for most of the chunk and then blow with about 40psi or so just controlling it with pressure I put on the handle. Haven't had any problems so far.
