My dust collector used to do a good job of removing saw dust. After I installed a zero clearance insert on my table saw I now end up with lots of dust on the table top.
I was thinking of drilling 3 or 4 3/4" diameter holes in the insert to improve the dust collection but I am not sure that will work. I think the dust has to come from the saw slot exclusively.
Would drilling a hole at the ends of the saw slot work better?
Any other suggestions? I am still getting plenty of suction from the DC, it just has no where to suck it down from.
This is very disappointing. I had a dust problem. Then I got the DC. Then I had no dust problem. Then I put in a zero clearance insert. Now I have a dust problem again. I am a dog chasing his tail.
