Hello guys,

I'm thinking about using a rotary nozzle around the tool on the router to
just follow the path the cutter is doing and vacuum clean all the dust and
swarf it leaves on the grooves so it's easier to maint the table clean for
the next job.

One quick question I want to ask is: Is there an easy way to determine the
direction of the movement vector of the tool to accommodate for direction
changes so I can align that nozzle that turns around the tool with the
direction of the cut?

My idea is to make all this mechanism as simple as possible with a 3d
printed structure and a little stepper to quickly rotate the nozzle to
follow the path of the cut.

If there's no easy or quick way of determine the direction (I thought may
be there's a debugging tool or way to read this kind of data) I plan to
make a custom component to constantly compare where the tool is going and
at wich speed so I can triangulate the angle and that way move the nozzle
in the right direction.

What do you think of this?

Thanks as always!
