I have a Minimax CU300 Smart with a 5.5 ft slider. Really like it with one exception; above blade dust collection through the supplied blade guard is not sufficent and results in a lot of dust escaping behind the saw blade.
I use an Oneida 2.5 hp cyclone and believe that is not the limiation.
I am curious to see if there are owners of this (or similar machine) who have made modifications to improve dust collection.
Previously, I had a Unisaw with a sharkguard and it was much better in collecting dust at the blade.
