Del, The Diablo blades are often thin kerf blades. This means the steel plate is actually thinner than on standard blades. My definition of why you are getting more dust airborn is what I call the "paddle boat effect." The cutting tips with the narrower blade seem to throw up more dust, similar to the way a paddle boat moves through the water. A zero clearance plate will be a big help, but a dust collector will show the biggest improvement. (I love my Diablo blades!)
