I’m trying to figure out how to use this with a vacuum. I’m not thinking this through clearly, but I think that’s how things work. You want several things and you keep banging on it until the come together. I need chip evacuation but also like the vacuum setup I have. The vacuum does ok with wood. But I just acquired my first chunk of aluminum and it is sitting there laughing at me. I’m not quite ready for it yet. Baby steps though.
I think the best approach ive seen is a combination vacuum with a needle jet blower like this
I haven’t tried it but it’s the upgrade I would go for.

I recently printed and installed one of those. Haven’t done any cuts with it yet though.
Totally forgot about the needle valve solution. That’s good.
New user trying to learn everything I can reading post. This concept and build is very impressive! Great work Jamie!
