May I please ask how many CFM you’re getting at the Sawstop blade guard in this configuration? I need a separate dust extractor to get the best performance. Thanks.
Due to the tangential throw-off of dust from a table saw blade, most of the dust will spray off into the air instead of dropping into the cabinet below. For this reason, the most effective cleanup for a table saw is an overhead arm guard because the arm guard puts the vac suction right at to the dust source. However, most table saw overhead arm guards are designed with small port diameters that require a shop vacuum with high static pressure ratings to move enough air (CFM) through the pipe, or hose, to effectively collect dust and debris from the blade. The Supercell is unique in the fact that has more static pressure than a wet/dry vacuum to deliver enough airflow through the small hose of the overhead arm guard. If you want to service an overhead arm guard with a Supercell, the best method is to partially close off flow to the 4” port to allow more air to pull through the more restrictive overhead guard. Effective dust collection occurs when there is a sufficient air volume around the source of dust emission to entrain all or nearly all the dust into the dust collector. Insufficient airflow at the tool creates fugitive dust, or dust in the air and everywhere else in your shop. Static pressure is the tool that allows you to deliver sufficient airflow, or CFM, to where it’s needed on the source tool. A traditional low-pressure dust collector with a lower static pressure will not provide sufficient airflow through the small port of an overhead arm guard. Note: It is important to place the partially closed off blast gate after the overhead arm guard port on your table saw. This will allow the air from the Supercell to be redirected through the overhead arm guard, where airflow is most critical. We will post another comment shortly with a follow-up video on this question. Thank you!
That's a really nice system but I'm going to stick with my 30 year old Craftsman shop vac that converts to a blower. I've got a 0.5 micron Clean Stream filter (I believe Oneida sells these as well) and I have short length of 2.5" flex hose coming from each machine with the fitting that fits right into the vac...simple and just plain works. I've thought about trying a small cyclone like The Dust Deputy or the Home Depot one but then the setup wouldn't be below the machine work surfaces and would get in the way. After reading reviews and watching a few videos it doesn't look like they add much and in some cases may hinder performance so I'm holding pat. Just putting this out there for other hobbyists with similar needs. I love the flexibility and adding new machinery is a simple as a short length of hose (3 feet or so) and a fitting that goes to the shop vac. No expensive fixed tubing or blast gates.

Sorry I not going to sit here for 5 minutes and watch ads on doorbell cameras
I recommend paying for UA-cam then.
