From what i have read ~1500 CFM blower will do the job for sure and ~700CFM could be the minimum for your table, but of course depends on your setup. translated to W it means somewhere from 250W to 1KW blower and around 10"-12" pipes/ hose, the bigger you go.
This could work for sure but i would do a search for " industrial extractor" , not "fume extractor".
One main point in all that is the shorter the way, the better, the smaller the motor could be, all transit should be fluid lined. If filtered better, but will stop flow.
Hence after knowing all that, conical shape that goes into the blower which is below the table, air changes direction in the blower, then short straight pipe from blower to outside on the same level.

Thanks,
so conical collecting pan below table, short duct to fan, short duct to outside, smooth ducting all round.
The exhaust duct may need to be longer, say 10' as the walls in my shop are reinforced concrete slabs and don't take nicely to having holes cut in them. Above 6' its wood so easy to cut about, the ducting will need to go from fan, up wall and out.

Yes, 12" x 12" door with two twist-locks for easy access.
I plan to fit a coarse welded-wire mesh of 25 x 50 x 3mm below the slats to catch the drops and bigger junk, can hook that out easily then, the smaller stuff can be emptied when needed.
The duct was made by local air-con install company for £300 delivered, I could not make it that good for that sort of money, its spot welded and riveted in places, fully seam-sealed too.
It should just drop into my table and sit on a couple of 1" support beams across the bottom cross-members.
