I was working on my cnc this weekend and a thought occurred that I should warn you guys about, Make sure your machine and your dust control system are grounded correctly.

When we hooked up a shop vac to our cnc the static caused by it zapped me and fried our controller board. To fix this we ran a grounded wire through the hose from end to end and ensured that the computer and the power supply for the motors & their power supply were all fully grounded.
