When I purchased the Sand Flee one thing I noted is that even with the dust collector attached most of the sanding residue ends up inside the reservoir box of the sand flee. Which really isn't all that bad as one can easily clean that reservoir out. Yes there is still some clean up around and outside of the tool. Then again the only time I don't need to clean up my shop is those days I don't use it. Jim

Turbulent vs. laminar air flow is most likely going on here. May be a very difficult design problem to solve. Fluid (air) mechanics ain't easy.

Hi, if you think of it there is no way that there is any laminar flow... all those ruff holes in the pegboard, a very short vertical depth in the cabinet, the ribbed vacuum hose... not to mention the pulse of the dust deputy. Eddy currents at every edge, nook and cranny... everywhere!

May be now is a time to invest in a way to do schliernen photography.... always love watching "air".

Aluminum sticky tape may be a tough go........When I built my dust collector under my table saw I used silicone caulk......That may be a little easier...
