Those cyclone dust collectors look great but I think the immediate issue would be getting the material out of the bottom of the machine and table to the cyclone.

I recall a thread on the forum here a while ago talking about fabricating an assembly to mount on the bottom of the table as part of a DIY vacuum assembly but I can't find it. I think Brian, ("RockyAussie") offered some information and weren't you also involved, Jimi? Maybe your memory is better than mine.

Yep...I saw that as well but dammed if I could find it either. It looked like a good set up and I stalled on making one up. I hope someone else knows where it is.

Installed....you should be able to see it from the left side without taking anything apart.

Ok yes it’s in there. How do I know if it’s adjusted correctly?

Here are some links to threads that might help regarding your questions, Jeannie. There's a lot of good stuff in Brian's posts.

Your post has me thinking that I'd now like to set up some kind of vacuum system on my skiver. But I'd really like to see how the units with the built in vacuum are configured "out of the box" and think about reverse engineering from there before I start getting too creative and spending money.

It is lightly pushed against the feed wheel with a spring, sometimes the scrap can get caught on it. Watch your hands!!
