@ Krap101 I work with Graphite and Carbon everyday with lathes etc., we have a a huge dust collector w/ piping going to all the machines. If you dont work with graphite often, try a shop vac and run the hose near the work piece. Make sure you get the bag filter for the vac though!!
It has an attached sucker system that draws out most of the dust. We have cut a great deal of carbon in the last year and a half and the interior of the machine still looks great without so much as a wipe down.
Is this your only Makino?

How do you deal with dust? Is there some sort of vacuum?
