Good Day. I started a thread over on the board about my Ridgid table saw. I'm trying to find dust collection tubing. Anyway, it has evolved to modifying the workbench for better dust collection, and something that I can effectively attach my roving dust collection cart (Dust Deputy Cyclone/shop vac setup). Here's my bench during its construction (it's more finished now with a sacrificial top, the table saw's platform is solid just like the workbench top, etc. Please see my other thread if you have any ideas as there are more photos and discussions over there. Thanks.

@comp56: I've seen that photo around prior. It's a great idea. However, not quite right for my setup. As for any larger piece getting pulled down, this Ridgid is pretty much SOL. Pictures worth 1,000 words. The dust collection "cup" is attached to the blade mechanism, so even when your tilt the blade, the dust port will rotate too. Guess this presents a problem with my setup. Hmmm. As for being SOL, if you look at the photo looking inside the dust port you'll see the blade, which can only be an inch or so from the bottom of the dust collection "cup". Also attached is a pic of my table during construction. Guess I'm going to have to think a bit more about the extraction of dust. Probably need some type of flexible tubing attached to a leg which I can then attach the dust machine too. I think I can unscrew the dust "cup" and thus the exit port and let it just fall below into some type of box. Hmm. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hello. I have a Ridgid 10" table saw R4513. I'm trying to hook up my dust collection to it's port. Seems as if the port is 2-1/2". I just can't seem to locate something that would extend it. Ideally I'd like to attach first a 90º elbow then a straight run for about 18" to where it's easy to hook up my portable dust collector. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
