Well my lung doctor told me to stay out of my shop(in the basement] for 3 months to see if I can get my coughing under control--So I have been kind of depressed for a week until this morning-- My old dewalt 788 was in the corner of the garage with a bunch piled on and around it--Now keep in mind I haven't used it in 4 years since I got my ex 21--I cleaned it all up , polished the table, check the blade for square and away I went. I had forgotten how good a saw the Dewalt was.. I am happy I didn't sell it when a guy wanted it. Now I just open the doors for the cars and the rear barn doors, turn on a fan and go.. How do you spell HAPPY---Richard

You know I feel sad to hear about the problem, but also Happy to hear about
the saw dust cure. Great thinking there. Keep that mask on (if you can) I can't.
I REALLY feel my rig works really well. Square fan sitting on table directly to my
left. Good Filter attached. Small (8 inch) fan sitting on a stand next to my right
elbow blowing towards square fan. And to top it all off I have a Oscillating fan
sitting on another bench to my right blowing towards to and the Hegner.... Works for me.

Use a dust mask it helps.

I always wear a dust mask when cutting--The doctor told me a story about a farmer who had to clean his corn storage bins--he wore a powered respirator when he was in the bins, but when he came out he would take off the mask and then dust himself off, inhaling the corn dust- after a few years he had lung problems. So I was doing the same thing and I almost never wore a mask when spraying a finish on one of my pieces--Learnt the hard way--so now I has a full face respirator for dust and one for painting--Richard

I'm glad you could figure out an alternative. I would be depressed too if someone took my saw away. :( It's bad enough just waiting out the extremes of winter and summer.

sad to hear your abandoned from the basement.
I have the workshop in the basement as well and this time a year it's a nice 59
but glad to see you found a way around it and still can scroll on the DeWalt.
for sure I'll hope things get better on the coughing soon!!
hang in there
