Hi,
I have the Fox 10" tablesaw which as far as I can tell look very similar to the Axminster one as well as various others.
I like the machine and have no real gripes about it but I do find the dust extraction to unsatisfactory and wondered if anyone else had similar experiences or hopefully some better ones I can copy.
I have the Axminster fine filter extractor:

which I have tried connected directly to the 4" port on the back of the machine. I have also tried connecting it directly to the port on the top of the guard.
As far as I can tell, the port on the base does very little and all the dust simply misses it and ends up on the floor of the machine. The best results I have had is with the extractor connected to the guard but there is still plenty of dust going below the table.
I'm curious to know what other people use and if they have found a system that works well with this kind of machine.
Thanks
Mike
