Dust Collection/Chip Control Std 4th Axis HD520
Posted: Thu Mar 30, 2023 10:09 pm
I have an HD520 with standard 4th axis.
The dust boot doesn't catch much. I have looked around for a solution, but so far nothing has come up. I did see one person who put up a 5 inch high "wall" on either side of the spindle. This seems t keep the dust mostly confined to that area. I am running the 4th axis along the Y-axis. I am just wondering if there is a better solution to get my dust collector to pick up the chips. On a long carve, the amount of chips builds up quite a bit.
