My previous station worked great for a decade, so my upgrades this time were mainly aimed at a few specific improvements.
Set the t-track back further to avoid interfering with cuts when breaking down rough lumber that is sometimes bowed
Split the single, centered 6" dust port into three hoses (4" back left, 4" back right, shop vac to saw's connection behind blade)
Zero clearance fence (installed) and insert (installed but not captured in the pics)
New hood is built as a knock-down style. Removing three pins allows me to remove the hood entirely when needed (which isn't often) within about 20 seconds.
Nothing revolutionary here, but a nice (and cost friendly) improvement that I will enjoy for the next decade.

And, while I was in shop improvements mode, I finally added some parallel clamps and heavy duty quick clamps to the arsenal.
