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?


What do you mean when you say that the sawdust flied out the front? Do you
really mean out the back (that part away from you)?

I built a hood out of some thin plywood and connected my dust collector to
the that. It helps quite a bit, but radial arm saws tend to throw sawdust
everywhere.
