    10 mins into blade finishing on the first knife and a Scothbrite belt blows apart and heads right down the dust collector hose and into the machine. 4 hrs later it's running again but I'm ass whopped.

    Hehe, that is some serious suction....

    Yeah you should have seen how fast it got sucked down that tube, crazy! Funny but I instantly jumped sideways to turn off the dust collector and still wasn't fast enough to stop the shredding. Some of the belt actually made it outside too. I've really got the dust collector set up working great now, maybe too great? :k
