The results:

- As mentioned above, the shop vac is okay as a DC for one machine, but
not good enough for my wife, whose car was getting dussted regularly.
- The DC works MUCH BETTER on all machines. On the contractor saw, I
could not see anything at all escaping while ripping some Spanish
Cedar.
- The 2HP CD makes a lousy vacuum cleaner.

Okay, everyone already knew this, but it was interesting to see it
first hand.

To summarize, you seem to have done an experiment to confirm that a
dust collector is better at dust collection and a vacuum is better at
vacuuming.

Startling results! G
