Can you spell showoff?

A couple of months ago I decided to sell my beloved 7x14 mini-lathe because since I have the CNC one it only collected dust.
In anticipation of the sale I made a chinese tooling purchase (photo below)
Last week I sold the mini-lathe at the leading local auction site for around $790 (about the same I paid for it 5 years ago when I personally imported it from China)
So to finalize my shopping spree I purchased an industrial vacuum (specs here) to give my small vacuum the much needed rest

Couple of photos:

Checked the mics against a friend mitutoyos and they read ok, I don't expect to be the same after a lot of use, but I don't use mics a lot not I make pieces that need the precision, I just wanted to have mics

Most of the other stuff is unused yet.

Im happy

Does the vac work well? Specifically, does the hose get all clogged up with the longer chips?

So far so good, I vacuumed a small work and tried to clean the table, stopped after vacuuming a couple of tools I had around the table
The tube is around 40mm wide (one inch and a half) I guess long chips would bend then be sucked. Will post results.
