I'm try to find a way to keep my hywin rails free from collecting dust as I have noticed that after a while can accumulate and get stuck to the rails and coarse problems. I am in the process of sorting the dust extraction that will help a certain amount but I would still like to have something in place to try and minimise it further. The dust is mainly from milling foam so quite light but has a lot of static and likes to get every were. I have experimented with putting brushes on the ball screws that seams to work however it is a little harder with linnear rails. Hywin do a scraper seal kit with I have been looking at bit have been trying to figure a way to get closer to the problem to minimise it before relying on the scrapers. Are there any good solutions out there ? I have been wondering about some sort of compressor linked up to a Number of small tubes blowing the dust of the rails but not sure if that would be a expensive solution ?
