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.
