Danny my EX16 came with dust collection but it was so loud an kept getting clogged up with small cutoff's I took it off. Look at the photo and you can see what I came up with. One fan blowing across the table and into the filter of the other does a pretty good job. I also wear a dust mask.

Hello Don, this might be a foolish question. But I am assuming the box fan is blowing away from the Excalibur?

 

Thanks

theres a video on youtube of a guy that did modifications to his excaliber and the dust collection was one of the mods.

Yes it's blowing away. The 20"x 20" filter catches the dust and I vacuum it off with the shop vac.

Thanks for ALL the Posts.  Don I have had that same set up for many, many years.  It does a OK job with the square fan and
Filter catching the majority of the sawdust.  I still get a little sawdust that just doesn't get captured and consequently it floats

ALL OVER THE PLACE.  Anyway I do thank you for your input................................Danny  :+}

I have a Hegner 18VS which I have adapted for dust collection both above and below the table.  I used 3/4" PVC pipe and fittings and also some larger to attach to my HEPA Vac.  Above the table I used 3/4" Loc Line for a vacuum pick up and also Loc Line for the blower part.  Both are easy to move and position to pick up the fine dust.  

 

Below the table is a 3/4" PVC pipe to suck up the dust below the blade.  The system is very effective and there is very little dust which escapes.  With this setup, I do not need to wear a dust mask.

Festool sells a ":Y" that fits the smaller hose (1-1/2"?) shop vacs.

I also use a MASK and have the SAME SETUP on my EX 16 except I have not upgraded to the addition of the small blower fan  

I depend on the little blower tube which leaves my saw table top with layer of dust as I am working.

I will upgrade

I use a regular shop vac in another room operated by remote control. Had a lot of help on this from member "Multifaceted" (Carl Jacobs). I had severe COPD and had to remove as much sawdust as possible.

Pete I simply Love the way your saw is Dust Free after Scrolling.  I wish to eventually set up something like yours. 

Haven't decided how yet.  Still investigating and asking questions. 

 

I VERY MUCH ENJOYED WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS WITH YOUR ....HOW TO.... 

 

Thanks for showing this Interest.    Did teach me things....   Danny  :+}
