Pretty nice here too, humidity down to 60%. A lot better than the upper 80's we have had for quiet a while. Temp is down 3 or 4 degrees also.
News: Had a couple issues with the forum today. 1/19/2017. I believe I have them corrected now. Let me know if you have any trouble. Thanks.

I'd bet on too much humidity.

toneman,
with the vac under the saw below the knob does that get most of the dust or is there still a lot on top of the table? That is what I like about my setup it gets just about all the dust top and bottom but is a little bit cumbersome, but the noise and running that 15 amp DC motor to pickup a cup full of dust is hardly worth it to me, that is why I am considering that new vac.

A Touching Story On How Men Think
As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, "You know what?
You have been with me all through the bad times.
When I got fired, you were there to support me.
When my business failed, you were there.
When I got shot, you were by my side.
When we lost the house, you stayed right here.
When my health started failing, you were still by my side...
You know what Martha?"
"What dear?" she gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth.
"I'm beginning to think you're bad luck."

Boudreau buys Clarice a new automatic Jaguar XF
?She drives the car perfectly well during the day, but at night, the car just won?t move at all.
After trying to drive the car at night for a week (but without any luck), she calls the Jaguar dealers and they send out Thibodeau, their best technician to check it out. Thibodeau checks the car and can?t find nothing wrong with it. So he axe Clarice: ?Are you sho you be using the rat gears, you?? Clarice is mad now, yeh?: ?You Fool, you idiot, how on earth you could axe me such a question? I might be a blonde but I ain?t dumb you know! Of course a?m using the rat gears; I use dat D during the day and dat N during the night.?

Thanks toneman for the pics.
Do you think that vac has enough suction to split the hose and pick up from 2 points like I have mine setup for or does it do a good enough job just from below. I have a set up like dgman, below the table and above the the table.

dgman, that is pretty much how I have mine set up and the funnel on the bottom is directly below the knob on my EX-21. Thinking I may try that new vac and hook it to my set up instead of the dust collector would definitely use a lot less electricity and should be quieter. My DC draws 15 amps and this vac I believe draws 4.5 amps, not sure how much quieter it is.

Are you referring to the Metro Vac N Blo 500?
What kind of price does it carry did not see on the web site?
Is it that quiet and efficient and what kind of filter does it have?
I don't see it on Ray's website.
I have a 2hp dust collector in the work shop but just can't see running a huge and kind of noisy 2 hp motor for a scroll saw, and a shop vac is even louder.

The only thing I have done so far is to change the size of a pattern and I do it with Inkscape.
