I recently purchased the King Excelsior 21 saw. Taking a long time to retrain the muscles for tensioning after 10 years with a DeWalt. I am not liking the plastic piece under the table which connects to the dust port. The Seyco dust collection hose is too small for the port. Has anyone just removed the plastic piece? If so, how much dust then falls through the other holes in the table? I will get around to looking at hooking up the other tubes for the Seyco system, just haven't had time yet.

About two years ago, I bought a new Hegner and moved my dust collection over from my older Hegner. On the top, I use a Loc Line from the bellows to blow the dust away so from the cut. I use a larger Loc Line connected to my Festool dust extractor to suck the dust. This works really well. Notice that I also made a larger handle for the tension lever as the original hurt my hands. Underneath the table , I plumbed up the extractor with PVC. the joints are not glued. I can move it to insert the blade and holder. I initially tried the dust red "thingy" but was dissatisfied with it. Someone in another thread mentioned using their dust collector to such dust on the Hegner. This is likely not effective. A dust collector has about 1/10 the suck or vacuum of a shop vac or extractor. I am using a Festool Dust extractor which is pretty quiet and does not bother me. A number of folks have developed similar systems for their scroll saws and it seems to be working well for them.
