Vacumm cleaner

[Neale]

I use mine with a dust shoe while cutting, then unplug it from the dust shoe to clean up. Works for me. The dust shoe isn't perfect in that even with a fairly powerful vacuum cleaner, it doesn't collect all the wood dust/chips, but it keeps the vast majority of the dust which is not removed in place for sucking up after the cut is finished.

I used to have one of these https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/cde7b-dust-extractor/ but an awful lot of the dust and shavings got everywhere else in the workshop. There seems to be some law of physics that determines that the effectiveness rapidly diminishes with distance from nozzle. Probably something like an inverse cube law.
