I have heard that it is so concentrated that it literally sucks the workpiece to the table and makes it unmoveable. Lots of folks have removed it and made their own design for vacuum hookup. After having my EX I can tell you that you won't be sorry you chose the EX. On another note, you mentioned inlay work. If you get interested in doing inlay or marquetry, there is a great book that you will want to get hold of. It's name is "The Art of Marquetry" by Craig Vandall Stevens. It explains a lot. Also, Dave Monk did a great video on inlay that you will want to watch a few times. I think it was Dave Monk that did a video I saw...making a Batman emblem for his granddaughter I believe. I really liked the boxes Jim Finn put up! He posted a photo of his flea market, or craft show, setup. And wasn't that Scrappile that put up a inlay box talking about flocking? Also I forget who posted a beautiful Harley box the other day. I think it would be so cool to learn to do that, and a tilt head saw would make it easier...I think.

It does suck the board down especially when you first start cutting ( fretwork ) but once you get a few holes cutout so some air can flow it gets better.. I will say also.. It helps a whole lot to keep the saw table waxed real well.. doing that regularly makes it much easier.. I guess I thought all the Excalibur's came with a foot switch? If not.. Harbor Freight has them fairly cheap and I used one from them for 12 years on my Dewalt without issues... I couldn't be without a foot switch.. I don't know how I did it before I got one.. LOL I know I should wax the tables more often...but just forget it...lol. I just set up my KC CHIEFS pattern to do...think I'll go wax the table before I start it. Thanks for reminding me!
