    Some Pics of my "mostly" homemade dust extractor.

    Having built and used my homemade CNC router. It became clear very quickly, that I'd need some kind of dust pickup. Especially when cutting MDF. That stuff gets everywhere.
    Hoovers are too noisy for my liking, so I set about collecting parts to make my own, (free, of course). The only part I paid for so far was the Inverter drive. (£20) ebay. I still have to get some ducting. AKA drainpipe. So that I can get the vaccum where it's needed. I have an old pillow case to act as a dust collection bag.

    Hopefully my nights of "bogey basketball" will soon be comming to an end.

    Regards Terry.....
