Thanks Duck! I save PDF's like those on my Kindle app. Then they are searchable on the iPad in the shop. He is right about the dust from alabaster. Turned some small pieces years ago and everything was layered in milky white dust.

He mentioned using an aquarium pump and air hose to keep the dust clear while routing recesses, I am gonna use that for my scroll saw and much more in my shop.

Very cool. I will definitely squirrel this away for a rainy day project.

wdwerker can i sugest something else instead of blowing it away like they are usualy set up instead suck it up.  this is what i did with my machine then i just hook up my shop vac......or what ever dust collection you have.   

 

and this is for a tiny router i made with suction works great. 

 

in my shop its a requirement to keep it from floating around the house since its right next furnice .  in your shop you might not care.
