Zero dust and no lost pieces!

Post by John J » Fri May 27, 2016 9:12 pm

Cutting pearl and abalone I've tried a small aquarium air pump which only worked so-so. And then I'd have a piece drop to the floor and then I'd have to get down and start searching. So I had a light bulb moment and set up the small hose from my vacuum as shown. And in another flash of brilliance I put a screen on it. And I didn't even have to get a piece of pearl sucked in before I thought of it. It works really good.
