• • dust extraction

There is a hole at the top rear left of the cabinet which may be used for dust extraction - either a separate unit or a connection to the shop extractor. However, the cutting dust tends to lie around the cutter so some means to move it to the extraction is required. Possibilities are throwing it into the air and then extracting the air, or sucking directly at the cutting tip. There is a small air pump in the cabinet whose output is taken to a connector under the gantry parking position. This may be used to disturb the air near the cutter, and a flexible hose to the extraction used to remove it. The hoses needed may get in the way : this requires some experiment. A dust shoe may be helpful but will hide the cutting point from view.
