Do I need a Regen Blower?

Hello, All
I am looking a purchasing my first CNC router, it’s a used PRS ALPHA ( only 6 months old) at what I would say is a good price. However this machine comes with a 10 HP Regen Blower and I am thinking I may not end up using it.

But again from other tool purchases I have bought things that I did not think i need, but the one time I used them they were great to have.

If I don’t end up using the blower, then the price I am paying for the machine is not that much of a deal. So my question is this, have you found the vacuum has come in more useful then you expected?
And is there a market to sell this blower if I decide I don’t need it ?

If you are primarily cutting sheet goods (plywood, mdf, etc) you will use the blower all the time.

there is always someone looking to buy a blower but you may really like it.

10 Hp Regen!!! Keep it!
Not only sheet goods but anything flat bottom will stick like glue .... Sure beats using screws......you'll use it! ����

I used my Bot for 2 1/2 years until I was able to put a vac setup on my bed. That was a year ago ( last summer). I use the vac system all the time for almost everything. Sheet goods, solid wood, etc. I love it. A real game changer.

Mine is also a ten hp unit and my table is 48"x48". I wouldn't go back... Saves all sorts of time and much better results than clamps on sheet stock.
