ERWIN PRODUCTS
My machine was loaded with dust and corian chips even though I stopped every 15 minutes and vaced it out, blew it out and wiped it
down. I bought the Erwin Products dust devil and hooked it to my shop vac. I found that IF the filter was clean, it would make it
through one cutting. Then plug up. Plus it got pretty hot. So I found a good used JET dust collector on Craigs list for $100. and
I can run it all day. I also now hook the JET to my other tools and my lungs are no longer the dust collection system for my shop.
I'm certain that all of my machines will last longer for having done it. http://www.erwinproducts.com/erwin_products_004.htm

I purchased this unit and was carving some foam parts which I usually have a ton of dust all over in a few minutes.
This kept it pretty
clean, I'm completely satisfied

I have been using his dust collector for a month and I am more than satisfied. I purchased it without the new addition but he quickly
sent me the added part free of charge. The only thing I missed out on was the new quick disconnect. I have no trouble with bit changes
whith all pieces installed. Great product.
The Magic of making Sawdust.
I got the Erwin Dust Devil back around the end of April. I was very satisfied with its operation. Since then they have improved the
design twice. Both tiimes I received and email from them stating they had shipped me the improvements at no cost. To me this is great
customer service. Not many companies out there improving there product and giving away the improvements free after you have already
made your purchase. All that without an inquiry from me. I am sure there are several good designs out there but I can only vouch for
this one.
Here is the email I received.
Dave,
Inappreciation for your support, I just ran a new batch of Dust Devils and I amsending
you the new extension and mounting blocks to upgrade your Dust Devil to version C with the quick release snap fasteners and much improved
performance.
Thank you for your continued support,
Erwin

The only other company I know of that does
this is Lee Valley with their Veritas tools. It is a great sign of a company that truly believes that taking care of their past customers
will reap future benefits (and is the right thing to do) Well done.

Just wanted to let you know, that I finally got the nerve to cut the lid and install the dust hood. I tried it out and
it works perfectly.
Thanks for all your engineering expertise, it will make my carvewright much nicer to use.
Thanks

I found a sheared spindle post on the Y axis driver and so replaced the gear and both bearings. I thoroughly lubricated the machine
and it is working well again. While inside, I found a LOT of acrylic shavings as I've been carving lithopanes lately. They got past
the mounting plate, the plastic protective sheet and the caulking used to seal and hold it in place. I came to realize that stopping
every 15 minutes to vacuum and blow out the dust wasn't near enough.
That's when I found the Dust Devil From Erwin Products. Easy
to install and it worked like a charm with just a shop vac attached.
I highly recommend the Dust Devil. Simple design and as
close to perfect as I can imagine. Everyone should use it to add life to your Carvewright. The price is right too.

Fantastic attachment!
Why didn't Compucarve think of this when they designed the machine. I hated to use my machine because of the big mess after a project. I had my dust collector trying to draw the sawdust from under the machine. Your attachment is far supperior and does a much better job. I now look forward to using my machine because there is very little, if any dust to clean up. Thanks.
