THAT is a good imagination !!

For what it's worth as datapoints.... I have the newer Bandsaw and Jointer models with latest dust-collections. I use the Bandsaw extensively and I note that the DC3300 does an incredibly better job than my little shop-vac there. A night and day difference. For the Jointer, I use it only occasionall...
