4 port to connect flexible collection hoseDetachable bristlesHooks to a dust collector
Get a dust collection boot, some 4" dust hose, and a cheap used 1.5-2HP dust collector, you'll cut your clean up by about 95%. Also, cutting MDF without dust collection is kind of a bad idea. The glues they use for that stuff will kill you if you breathe enough of it.
The Powermatic CNC dust boot fits the Avid/CNCRP spindle, and you won't have to dick around with the Avid/CNCRP DIY one that honestly costs just as much to make.

Once you have dust collection - hit the rails with the air compressor blow gun once in a while and you'll be fine. Been running my PRO6096 machine heavy and hard compared to most owners for the last 6 months, no real issues other than some fasteners that rattled themselves loose. Everything is loctited now.
Edit: Oh god, close the electrical cabinets when there's that much dust happening. Yikes.
