    Down draft table?

    I was wondering if any one has ever made a down draft table for there cnc table top, and did it work ok or do you think it would work out ok. Having a dust collector hose connected as well would be even better I suppose. what size blower woould one need if it works. Thanks Graham

    For dust collection? With small (1/4"?) holes like a downdraft sanding table? I'd think that the holes would clog up quickly due to the volume of dust, and it would probably only get a small amount of the dust.
