    Very, very cool, Mountaincraft! There is certainly a lot of good stuff going on here. You have every reason to be proud of it.

    One thing I can easily recommend - DO get a dust collector. These things are very hazardous to your lungs! This is not a chip cleanup issue but an insidious invisible lung dust issue!

    After getting my drum sander going, there was a couple of times I was lazy and didn't connect up the DC to it (see? I even had one already and was just stupid) and I regretted it for a full day both times!

    I even made up the attached sticky label to remind me. If anyone would like one and will promise to post a picture of it in use, I'll mail one to a regular post office address you give me in a PM. I also made some other ones but with different text for my CNC.
