Some time back, I posted in someone's thread that I was getting a Kapex. I got it and have it installed.
First, I tried hooking it to my shop dust collection system but the 36mm hose seemed to constrict the amount of air and dust collection was not very good. So I went to Home Depot and found a Ridgid vacuum that they had as an "open box", missing the hoses and ends. That was perfect for me because I would not have used them anyway. They gave me a significant discount on it.
With that connected to the Kapex, the dust collection is better, but there's still a good bit of swarf that doesn't get collected. I built a shelf to put the vacuum on because there was no other place for it. I'll just have to remember to get up there and check if the vacuum is full occasionally.
Overall, the dust collection is better than with my old miter saw, because I would use the old saw without turning the DC on. On this one, I have one of those devices that turns the vacuum on whenever I start up the Kapex.
In the spirit of "No picture, didn't happen" I'm attaching a picture of the saw and the vacuum.
