Hey Jerry,

_(Continuing the discussion from [Proper Grounding; How have you grounded your frame?](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/proper-grounding-how-have-you-grounded-your-frame/12331/20))_

[…Not a proper location for a VFD…]

This dust separator looks like the [Megaton CPS-146MD](https://www.megatontool.com/en/product_view-ct1_43-160). Are you satisfied with it?

But what do you do when the dust container is full? Isn’t it a bit difficult to reach as it is?

Yeah that’s wild, it looks identical to the Megaton. It works well hooked up to a Fein Turbo vacuum, but it could certainly use a larger dust collection setup. I tried to smash everything into the CNC table when I built it… which just made everything an unnecessary pain lol. I’m reminded of this every time I have to empty the dust container. The next CNC build will be much better thought out! And safer/low EMI, thanks to all your info.
