My new machine - Guess the make!

[Pilsbury]

Nice little boxes! I made one early on and it’s amazing to see how the cnc just churns it out perfect. Imagine trying to carve that! And I like your articulated dust collection bracket. Dust boots are a must. I’m already envious - Stupidly went for 68mm downpipe where my dust extractor takes 100mm so my flow is restricted. Should have done what you did with drainage pipe to maintain the size. I recon my dust collection gets 99% of the chips. Only realise how necessary it is when I forget to turn it on.

Yes there is nothing like skimming your MDF spoil board level to learn the importance of dust collection! And yes that 68mm pipe will be killing your air flows. Presume you have a vacuum cleaner style HPLV collector, as for HVLP like mine 100mm is about the minimum.... personally can't stand the noise of a vacuum cleaner for long, especially when the machine is so quiet!
