Dust hose attaches in the wrong place. To do any good at all,
the dust
hose needs to attach at
the *front* of the blade guard, not the rear.


That makes sense now. How could they have got that wrong (just
rhetorical question)?
Thanks Doug.

Well It may not be wrong, SawStop claims extreme efficiency with
their
guard and the hose is at the rear. It all depends on the turbulence
and flow inside the guard.

Someone posted in the comments section of that video, that the
person in
the video is "standing on the wrong side of the fence". What do
you think?



Well he is out of the line of kick back if that happened. I say stand
out of direct line and where you feel most comfortable with
maintaining
control. I am typically on the left side of the blade.

Not to belabor the point but I think this discussion is worth
having...

If you're on the left side of the blade, aren't you tending to pinch
the board into the blade when you're close to the end of a rip? On
the right side of the fence, you're tending to push the side of the
board that's against the fence rather than the side that's against the
blade.


Not sure I understand pinch the board into the blade.

You're on the left side of the board, so the left side of the blade.
You're holding onto the left side, so when the board gets to the end,
you're pushing the kerf closed.

I don't push on the side of the board once it has reached the blade,
that would actually pinch the blade if the wast was narrow.

By the same token you should not use a feather board past the front of
the board.



Past the front of the blade, that is.
