I tried numerous configurations of brushes, vacuum hoses, etc. and finally came up with a design that works. It allows the lower part of the unit to be easily removed and reinstalled using strong magnets. This way, you can get the vacuum close to the cutting and still be able to change bits easily. I put the details of this on my website:

cockrum.net

It seems to be getting about 99% of the dust that the machine creates!
