Hi,
I Have a fairly new Jet cabinet table saw. Ever since I got it I have been wondering something. Inside the cabinet is the base of the inner area of the cabinet. Is this base supposed to be sealed all around the edges? As it is now, whatever dust isn't sucked up by the dust collection system either collects on this base or drops to the bottom since this base plate isn't sealed. There is a 1/8 gap around the entire base.
Is this normal and is this the way most cabinet saws are built?
The cabinet door also has slats about 10 slats in the door, that are about 3 inches wide, to further allow for more air flow... I am getting the impression that there is too much suction being lost in the cabinet.
Any insight would be appreciated!
This is basically the saw I own:
