    When testing my ClearVue installation I was so mesmerized by the spirals in the long cone I had the helper throw handful after handful of sawdust into the duct.

    This is on our router, it's a pretty steady flow of chips when cutting out parts with a half inch bit.

    Mesmerizing is exactly how I felt. It's like watching a lava lamp. It almost has an organic/alive feel to the flow and movement.

    I came back to watch it again. Very peaceful but, do empty that bin

    Its half full.

    Maybe it's leaking a bit? I cleaned the filters the other day out of curiousity, there wasn't much in there after filling the drum 5-6 times. Maybe a gallon worth?

    If it's half full why are the chips piling up in the flex hose?

    Cool video though, makes me excited to get mine up and running.

    No idea. I just looked and the router hasn't ran since this was recorded. It's the only thing on that dust collector
