To reduce dust in my garage, I sealed my table saw and attached a shop vac with a bucket cyclone. Sealing the saw redirects the shop vac’s limited airflow to where it’s needed most: the throat plate. This makes the shop vac a reasonable alternative to an expensive and bulky dust collector. In the process I also extended the outfeed table to make rip cuts safer and easier.
I hate how manufacturers DGAF about dust control.
