DeWalt Planer Chip / Dust Collection?

[dgman]

The issue for me is I use the flat top to sit the boards on when I’m planing multiple boards. For me, I have no reason to fold up the extension tables. Plus, I use a 90° elbow, no problem!

Seems like you could just put a 90 pointed up to the ceiling to connect your hose to it? What am I missing here, LOL.. I know I've been out in the shop since 5am and now it's 11pm so it's been a long day but I feel like the 90 could just point upwards to your dust collector.. Guess I better get to bed but now I'm going to be trying to think of why you'd cut a hole in the top of the planer for a hose to go up to the ceiling when a 90 pointed up from the actual dust port would do the same thing....  I think?  I've gotta be missing something here.. LOL

He wants to be able to fold the table up. Not sure why that's so important.
