I work with multiple CNC machines on a regular basis, but nothing like that. Sorry. Dust is just a non issue working with metal for the most part. It eventually falls down through the grate supports and onto the standing water below it.

So, I'm gonna drop this here since it's what I'd consider "woodworking adjacent" , it's about using a CnC.

I plan on picking one up soon, probably something in the middle on size build plate range (like 20"x20"). But the real endgame for me with it won't be woodworking, it will be graphite working. Has anybody around here done work with a CnC where you had to be cognizant/in control over super fine particulate dust coming off it? I'm debating a shop-vac with a shoe for around the router bit and a bag in the shop vac, but want to make sure I get the right bags/etc to handle graphite powder as it's conductive and will right and proper screw shit up if it gets into stuff.
You need to talk to the owner of precisebits.com (think and tinker)

This guy is a master of machining anything. He loves to talk. He'll tell you what you need to know, and if you buy a few of the correct bits from him, he'll be thrilled.

That'd be a spendy piece of wood in the store.

Now those tool marks are driving me crazy. Shit looks like I need to wiggle the antenna.
