Thanks for the reply Mike - sure hope you have a solution

I have a De-Walt table saw - I've got a shop vav hooked up to the bottom dust port of the saw - I turn it on the same time I start the saw - it does a good job of catching the dust from the bottom of the saw - it's the dust that comes from the top thats giving me problems. I've got a fairly good control on other equipment - I use a seperator and a jet 1 1/2 hp dust collector - my belt sander and oscillating spindal sander are hooked up to shop vacs. I don't depend on the filter system in the shopvacs - I use the disposable bags inside the vacs.

I work a lot with cedar and it seems to throw more dust than other woods. I cut some thin strips fom a 2 x 4 yesterday and my filter mask was red with dust - you could wipe your hand on any surface and it would be covered with a red dust.
