Another issue I've had is that I find it difficult to set the z axis home position ie when the bit is touching the material. I have been doing...
Hmm I don't think it was the vac - I was using a combination of cable ties and holding it! Plus there is a bit of play in the dust shoe anyway....
Back on the CNC mission after quite a long absence. I've made a reasonably effective dust shoe and I seem to be able to cut stuff without setting...
