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?

There should be a piece on the back of the guard that can adjust up or
down for the thickness of the wood you are cutting. It acts as a scoop
to direct the dust into the outlet of the guard.

It doesn't work very well, however. On mine, I put a collector behind
the fence to catch what the guard misses.
