Chris:
ABSOLUTELY! The machine needs a cleaning every 15-20 minutes. It allows you to pause production, clean it out and start back to carving. Allowing sawdust to build in the carving chamber risks the dust getting between the piece and the rollers. This can create many problems. By the way...great job on the trim you did for the house!
