Does a Robot Vacuum Work in a CNC Shop?

Does a Robot Vacuum Work in a CNC Shop?

I've wanted a robot vacuum for the shop for years. We've had a handful at home and the first one I thought was more than just largely an annoyance was the same model we ended up getting for the shop.

Our goal is to take down the amount of dust without having to think about it.

Sweeping is a no-skill job. Let the robot do it.

Is it any good? See for yourself in the video below.
