I work in my small shop room in our finished basement so dust collection is a big deal to me to keep the wife happy!
On my Dewalt DWE7491RS I have been using my Festool CT33 with the big 50mm hose connected to the back port and my Festool Midi with the 28?mm hose connected to the blade guard port. I make sure the vacs are set at maximum speed, am using new bags and clean filters but still I am getting quite a bit of dust sprayed around the shop. It is everywhere! I also am getting a fair amount of dust falling on the floor I guess from the metal dust shroud around the blade as there are gaps where the panels are assembled. I would have thought that there would have been plenty of suction to prevent that.
So I must be doing something wrong. Do I need a vacuum collector with much higher cfm? I could squeeze an Oneida Dust Cobra in possibly if it would help. It just seems that there isn’t very much make-up air available internally to feed a higher volume suction. Any bright ideas to improve this issue?
Thanks all! Pete
