The extraction outlet on the back of the saw probably comes from a shroud around the blade - the one on my Scheppach table saw certainly does. The dust falling out of the base of the saw has bypassed that. I’ve built a similar cabinet to yours, but decided not to extract from the cavity under the saw, as I doubted that the extractor could generate enough airflow to pull the dust out. Instead, I just put a removable panel on the front, and clear it out occasionally with the shop vac.managed to get the saw on the cabinet. the sawdust was from cutting the wood for the cabinet even tho i had the shop vac on the back of the saw. hope the dust collection works as i hope!

So after more sanding than I care to admit I've finally finished my latest creation, a large-ish cherrywood bud vase/ twig pot, this will be a gift for a very good friend who A donated the cherrywood to me a few years ago and B did all the legwork and set up for my better half's surprise 50th birthday party on Sunday making it a huge success.

How old is he? Ours is 4 months!
At least he has a wood related name

Got this machine from a mate, now I have to learn how to use it. Planning making a pair of doors. The stand is just packing wood but suitably sturdy.

Do you rate those foam tiles I'm thinking of getting some to line my garage floor! Just the bits which are walked on.

It will make it a whole lot more comfortable to stand and walk on, I have a couple in front of my lathe, makes a huge difference.

Same here as Stigmorgan uses them. Also, if you're a turner, I've glued an off-cut 300mm diameter to a bit of ply and use it when I want to turn the foot/recess from a bowl by pressing it into the foam with the tailstock.

Not only are they more comfortable but when you drop a chisel you are very pleased they are there!

Oh yes, 100%. Nothing worse than dropping a tool, especially the skew, it always lands pointfirst

I spread a little bit of butter on the end of the handle so if I drop it it lands butter side firstOh yes, 100%. Nothing worse than dropping a tool, especially the skew, it always lands pointfirst
Yes I use them for all sorts of stuff. I'm stripping down a shredder there and they don't half save your knees! And chisels as mentioned.
When I built the workshop I was going to cover the whole floor with rubber tread-plate stuff, but I've managed to create floods a couple of times so glad I didn't. The square mats can be lifted up easy. Go for it.

I think Costco do a roll of the stuff, might work better if you don't want the joints.
Stig that’s truly superb looks amazing.
