Evening all,
I have a SawStop contractor saw and use an Oneida Mini Gorilla 1.5 HP dust collector. The collector is hooked directly up to the saw via 4" flex hose. I just got the collector and had been using a shop vac previously. The pictures below show the amount of dust not picked up after ripping 4 2' 2x4s. Is this the best I can expect without trying to enclose the saw? I know a contractor saw isnt going to have great dust collection but I am pretty surprised at the results. Thus far it's no better than my shop vac. I dont have pictures but, after those initial rips I then edged the opposite sides to take off the rounded corners and I got absolutely covered in dust from my chest to the bottom of my shorts. Any suggestions?
Thanks
