Anyone used a Dustbuddy with a box sinker?

I usually hold the vacuum nozzle behind the box sinker (toothed kind rather than rotary Armeg) when sinking holes but I was wondering if this gadget offered any improvement in efficiency when minimising dust is a concern: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dustbuddy-...-/121058265589 I know Grimly Curmudgeon bought one back in 2007 for use with an Armeg. If you're reading this, anything to report on its usefulness or otherwise? Is it likely to work better with a dust-prodcing Armeg than a chunk- producing toothed sinker? Anyone else got one? I thought there was a discussion about making your own a while ago but I haven't managed to find it in Google groups archive. I use a Quad Cut, which does generate loads of dust when doing the circular holes. I just use a bowl-shaped piece of plastic, cut from the packaging of another tool, to try to contain the dust. It's a bit of a pain to use - you need a helper to hold it, but it does massively cut down the dust even without a vac. It's a bit difficult to tell from the photo, but the Dustbuddy does seem to leave quite a big gap around the cutter, so I can't see it doing much without a vac. Still, it's pretty cheap so it might be worth a punt. Cheers, Colin. |
