Re: Dragged out a shopsmith
I would be cautious about recommending paste floor wax. Many now have abrasives added for a non-slip finish, and this is not what you want to use on your Shopsmith.

Re: DC3300 suction power?
A dust collector is not a vacuum, and does not work by suction power. It works by moving large volumes of air (cfm). Your DC3300 is probably OK. You should look for anything that might reduce the air flow, if you are having problems.
