My bandsaw has a 4" port on the bottom of the right hand side therefore no dust extraction at the table.
I adapted Rob Cosman's idea, using domestic waste pipe & my shop vac, so that extraction takes place immediately underneath the table as well as the bottom. Seems to work fairly well. Certainly a lot less loose sawdust than there used to be.
Sorry no photo. Will try a take one tomorrow, if anyone is interested.

Apologies for the poor quality of the photo but it should give you the rough idea
The table has threaded holes on the underside which I used to bolt a piece of wood which carries the metal straps that keep the pipe in place.
Although I rarely change blades or tilt the table, it is only a matter of seconds to remove. Takes a bit longer to reposition though.
As I said, it works for me. It allows me to use the shop vac with it's standard size smaller hose.
