Re: dust collection cfm - RIDGID Plumbing Forum, Woodworking ...
Of these, my table saw (a Ryobi BT3100-1) is no doubt the worst offender as much escapes from the blade guard area, even with the shop vac hooked up. I always have to vac sawdust from the table, floor, etc. However in my little basement shop, all I use is a Ridgid 12-gal Shop Vac. For the drill press and router table and for hook-up to my sanders, the shop vac does a pretty good job. On my RAS, I have a fairly efficient shroud that I've made for it, but still some dust ends up on the work table. after it's use.
