Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Static electricity - WOW

Proper grounding of the entire system will help. I've seen people run a bar copper wire up the
dust collection hose and then ground it at one end. This seems to help. I've been running a
dust collector for a couple years w/ no grounding and not had a problem, however I have
paid special attention to the grounding details of the main cnc system.

Fwiw
