It is the same colour as my new one (I have the EX16) and yes there is a dust port under the table, it is a 2 1/2 " port but it screws flat to the table with only about a 1/4" gap at the blade side to let the air in, it put a strain on the motor of my extractor. So I took it off and cut a half round hole to let a larger volume of air through and it works like magic now.

So would I. Like it that you can raise the arm and that the housing instead of the table tilts.

That is good news. Start saving now David, you will really like it. A Hegner is a great saw to.  :)

Yeah it looks like a mini down draft table.  Looks like the port could get in the way of changing the blades. (?)

No Karl, I thought it might too when I first saw it, but there is plenty of room to change blades
