Hi am am getting things set for a WD-1 to be here soon and have a few ?s

What are most people using for a dust vac for the dust foot?

Will a shop vac work ok for this?
I have a Oneida Dust Deputy Cyclone to hook in line to grab the larger wood chips.

I have a older PC i want to setup for the Mach software win XP but i will need a parallel port added in.
What is a good parallel port card to get or can i get a usb parallel port add on for it that would be more easy?

Thanks

eddiem,

We include the parallel ports - if you need one for LPT1 let me know. We always include them with the closed loop system, as it is needed for LPT2.

Eddie,

You bought the closed-loop option? Good choice.

The Romaxx dust shoe did a decent job for me but I damaged it by driving it into a clamp. I ended up modifying it and will open another thread on the subject shortly.

The Cyclone will do a great job for you.

My ShopVac is the same brand and almost same model as the one on your link ... works fine for me. However, I do not know how it works on the long run as it ends up running for hours at a time. Maybe other members can help here.

I enclosed the ShopVac in a soundproof box.

Cheers,
