Great video very helpful using acrylic blanks leaned alot.

Steve ,I found using a paper towel less likely to catch and if it did will tear unlike a cloth. Also I use alcoho with the paper towell to clean off any sanding residue..
The Can Vac if fantastic!. Noticed you have an adjustable "dust catcher" for it. I'll check your site for it.
Thanks Fred

Steve, the Can Vac’s are amazing. Actually in my opinion a game changer for dust extraction. Also was great you had them in stock. I have them hooked up to my drum sander and router table. Absolutely no dust…. BTW, great video. Thought when you brought the storage bin out with water we would see some Koi or goldfish. 🤪Cheers, Brian
