In this part of the story, I connect a 6 inch dust collection line from the dust collector to the CNC spindle. I am taking a lot of care to make sure the transitions in the pipe are as smooth and sweeping as possible in order to keep the airflow up. I have made an arm above the CNC machine that will allow the dust collection pipe to follow the spindle in an arc. In the future, I plan to have 12 feet of movement in the CNC. The moving arm will allow the dust collection to follow the spindle with that much movement.
