X-Carve Rescue Ep. 2: Dust Collection, Modifications, Tweaks

I continue fixing and improving my X-Carve CNC router. This time I build a pretty great dust collection system, tram the machine (many times!), attach it to the torsion box tabletop we built in the last episode, stiffen the y-axis, and flatten the spoilboard. Along the way I use the X-Carve to make some aluminum parts for itself.
