I worked out a system that handles the dust pretty well. I built a box plelum to go under my machine that I can connect my shop vac to. The plelum draws the dust down through the slot in the bottom of the machine, keeping 99% of it out of my shop. The shop vac is augmented with a Onieda Dust Buddy which saves alot of time, effort and filter life. The small hose replacing the motor exhaust filter is a pool filter hose from Lowe's and directs the dirty exhoust in to the plelum. Anyway, it works for me and keeps the better half of my *** about the dust coming in the house.
