Well dang, I was hoping Sweepy would have a ‘No Job Too Small’ motto. Did a bit of cutting today with a 0.0625 end mill and Sweepy wasn’t going to help me at all in this case.
As you can see, even a small job can create a large amount of debris. I’m wondering if removing the lip stop for the router would allow enough room for at least a 0.125 mill to work. Not really ready to start operating on Sweepy yet though.
I’ll try again tomorrow using a 0.25 end mill and see if the tool reach is long enough to accommodate Sweepy.
UPDATE
Found these two posts added to the original announcement:
So I’ll try removing the bristles and getting shorter ones from Granger, or removing the base entirely. Thanks @neilferreri and @wmoy!

Kludged together an adapter from the vacuum hose to Sweepy with reasonably good results. However, real world testing as suggested in the above posts is somewhat disappointing I’m sad to say.
After the same amount of cutting I’ve got pretty much the same amount of chips. On to bigger things to cut with cleaner results
