[quote="mbcabinetmaker"]I am cutting 1/2 inch deep 3/4 inch dados in some 2/4's. I read the complaints on the poor dust collection of the Shopsmith and have to agree it could be better!]

One thing Mike! You forgot to show or tell us how much sawdust got into the DC. My guess is 70% to 80% of the chips went into the DC.

Yes, we see the stuff all over the carriage and the floor, but if we were to empty out the DC bag onto the floor, we could get an understanding on just how good the DC 3300 works - by comparing the two piles.

CHUCK: He's running a JET DC which he says works better than the DC 3x00.

YOUR point IS valid re relative volumes in/out of the DC. I believe he removed over 100 in³!
