Levelling the bed. Profile is done at 6.5m/min with 5mm DOC and the pocket for the bed levelling was 9m/min at around 1-2mm DOC. Took longer to hover the mess than it did to run the job!

Whats that big fooookin clear tube thing hanging down the side for then.?????. . . Strap the bugger to spindle and turn it on.!!
It was clean for months. It needs to get dirty lol
A dust shoe is on the to do list but just like you said, now its done I can't be arsed and want to get stuck in cutting some of the things I've got designed and waiting. Glad I did all the tidying, probes and prettiness before plugging it in!
For once someone surfacing the bed at a respectable feedrate :)
What stepover did you use? When surfacing MDF, if I require an especially good finish, for instance when machining a PCB, I surface the bed with a 40% stepover parallel to Y (since Y is the fastest axis) and if not I use around 70%
I know the feeling. I did make something to collect the dust initially, but it didn't work very well and I never got round to improving it...
90% there as its not critical. I'm only laying 4x4ft sheets over the bed.
Still got an ok finish even with the haste.
