Very creative! Any chance you could add a pix showing details of your vacuuming system? I'm planning on using a Makita router and these "lock line" tubes, but, the devil is in the details of mounting and connecting to a vac. Thanks!

What kind of magnets did you need to use to hold the knives?

For magnets, there are 20, 3/4 x 1/8 inch disc magnets from K&J Magnetics. I wrote up a project for the Loc-line here: https://www.inventables.com/projects/line-loc-pipe-clamp
