Martin,
How did you attach a vacuum to your Proxxon KS 115? Is it under the
saw, or is it mounted above the blade? I have been wanting to attach a
vacuum but don't know what is the best/safest method. Pictures?

Be sure to have a good quality filter on the vacuum! If your cutting
FR4 fiberglass some of that dust will pass through those cheap shop
vac filters.
