It worked ok but was noisy and I still had to do a fair amount of vacuuming out the inside during carves. During one of my trips to Lowe's and my normal route through the tool section I spotted their floor model 1HP/650CFM Delta that had a reduced sign on it. Big difference in both noise and dust removal. I tried a top suction using a shop vac floor attachment. It was fair but the reduced hose size limited the ...

For a top (or base) I used a 6' x 16" x 3/4" piece of laminated shelving from Lowe's. I only used about 2' for the top and the remainder (about 4') was used to make a "scanning sled". I cut a 1 1/2" x 12" slot in the middle that matches up pretty well with the slot in the bottom of the CW machine. Also, in the last picture you can see I added strips of 1" foam padding (also from ...

I modified a DC nozzle to fit in the machine in place of the cover. It sits on the metal frame that's above the roller. The fan unit is a King 1hp, 600cfm. I replaced the 30 micron bag that comes with the unit with a 1 micron bag made for a 1200cfm unit. The bag is fitted on a 45gallon plastic drum with the top cover off. 4" PVC pipes make the connections. ...
