I recently purchased a Craftsman RAS and a hd shop vac.
After hooking up the vac hose to the exhaust port on the RAS I was
quite disappointed to see all the sawdust flying out the front of the
blade.
Any ideas on how to contain the dust using the vac?

A RAS should toss very little sawdust out the front. Do you have your blade
on backwards? The teeth should be pointing down on the leading edge of the
blade so that they cut downward and force the wood being cut back towards
the fence when you pull the carriage forward to cut.

To use the vac, just stick the hose end in the area on the blade guard meant
to receive it. You may need an adapter depending on hole/hose sizes.
