Apologies for the delay but the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing at the local computer firmament.
As far as I know, the Clarkson never had dust excluders. Certainly, this understanding is taken from the original Clarkson handbook and access to a wealth of later articles as well as access to a sizeable number of home owned and tool room machines.
If one moves the goal posts to using one to lesser duties as a buffer- I don't know. Buffing machines seem to be cheaper than paper dust excluders. Back to left and right hands and the bit in between :doh:
As far as original concepts about grit etc, I built the baby Clarkson( the Stent) and it didn't have dust excluders and subsequent writers on that machine have made no reference either.
Hope this helps

Zadig:
The MK2 has plenty of revisions for dust control. I suspect that those that say they have no dust problem, rarely use them.

You may be interested in http://www.bedroom-workshop.com/ there is a wealth of
information on Clarksons. I am sure that if you utilise your tool cutter on a daily basis as intended you would feel the need for bellows, as included by the manufacture in their first revision of the tool.
For myself I doubt my use will justify the expense, but I would like to include them to save on vacuuming time. As you may have read I am making a stone guard for my grinding work and my use has ranged from lathe and mill tool grinding, drill sharpening, and even a bit of surface grinding, it is not a buffing machine, but a very versitile tool.
Arnie.
