Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Static electricity - WOW

The combination of you holding the plastic hose and atomized wood chips being sucked into the hose is creating an abundance of static electricity. I'm sure someone here can advize how to ground this setup...

I guess I have a static electricity problem. While cutting a model boat
stand on my router I was using a dust collector . I was holding the
hose by hand. Something touched something else and both I and my
computer got a jolt of static electricity. Has anyone else run into
this? Cures???

I am assuming I need to ground the router which is aluminum on a wood
stand. Do I need to somehow ground the plastic hose on the dust
collector?

Any suggestions, insight, etc. appreciated! !!!!!!!!! !
