Hi Hans,
        A small hose from a vacuum will work. One must make sure
you allow enough air to get into the vacuum so it does not 
overheat. Adding a small hose to a vacuum without letting extra
air get in somewhere will be a disaster. 
        I am working on a CNC plotter that can mill boards-draw on 
boards, do Scratch and Etch or even cut vinyl. I bought a plotter to 
see how strong it is. Now I am working on a unit that works in a 
similar way. The Z axis will have a one inch range for thicker items. 
All this made from mostly hardware store parts. Roller skate bearings-
metal rods-MDF-Dremel and my favorite grey PVC plastic. I am trying 
to keep it in the $100 range. Unlike the units that are made from 
printer parts, this unit can be made larger or smaller.

                                       John
