A have a cabinet saw that I will be hooking up to a dc soon. It has a 6" diameter pipe out the back. The motor cover has a 5" hole over the motor to let in cooling air which I may close off. I know I need to allow makeup air to enter the cabinet. Should I basically close all the openings, like where the elevation handle arc slot is, and let air in the table to cabinet gap. Should I try to close off the table to cabinet gap with foam or something like that jammed in there.
Theoretically I could close all gaps and there would be no airflow except a tiny bit around the blade slot. Obviously this would not do much for dust collection.
