Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Dan"s Plans

Thanks again Dave, I thought about using a small bracket to hold a small
vacuum hose at say 45 degree angle and a small blower chocked down into a
small hose across from the vacuum so as to blow the cuttings toward .the
vacuum hose. Maybe this may work ok, I'll play around with it and see how it
goes. I'm hoping to ran across x axis somewhere, maybe Ebay. I'm thinking I
need to be set on what router to use before shopping for the z slide.
I fretted for a while before I broke down and posted to the group about
this. I should have posted a lot sooner. A few responses from you and others
has provided answers to questions that I had and more.
thanks
bill
