    Question Dust collection design help

    I am coming up on the finish of my first CNC machine and am at the point where nothing is going to get cut until I resolve the issue of dust collection.

    Can anyone point me towards some designs or photos where I can see the pitfalls of how and how not to do it?

    Thanks.

    There are some threads around, but you'll need to search them. Can you show a picture of your router?

    I did have a solution designed for mine when I was intending to use vaccuum clamping, but now chose to use toggle clamps instead.
    I have those posted somewhere, but will need to look it up as well.

    Also what type collection system do you have or want? That may help matters.
