Stu, What I've done to various degrees over the years is build a box outside of the shop to house the "shop Vac" as we call them in the states. Then just start buying sections of hose until you can reach everything in your shop. It might be time invest in the most powerful one you can afford. Cut a suitable hole in the wall for the hose and the power cord. I run the cord inside the shop to a small suitably rated heavy duty power strip that has a switch. I plug a light into the power strip so I don't forget to turn off the vacuum. Just getting rid of the noise of the vacuum will improve the mental quality of working in the shop as well as protect your lungs from the small particles that bypass the filter. On my band saw I have taped some bits of cardboard around the open parts under the cutting table to improve dust extraction, the same for my table saw, Nothing fancy mind you but it makes a big difference. When I need maximum extraction I pull the filters and run my shop vac commando, it's messy but outside in the box instead of in the shop is worth it when compared with the long term damage ones lungs are exposed to. I use the paper bags in the shop vac but not the ones rated for high filtration as they plug up faster. Not using the bags tends to FOD* out the filter on the motor * foreign object damage , aviation term About the band saw blades: the ones that come with the saw are dodgy at best. Buy a few better quality ones and don't forget to get a fine tooth blade for steel or thin materials. Rule of thumb: blade tooth count, when cutting thinner material is a tooth count that allowed two teeth to contact the material while cutting. Spend some time watching setup videos online with a mind to filter out the rubbish and bookmark the ones that help the most. Been dealing with a F'load of pain as my foot heals but wanted to pop in and share this with you. Back to lurk mode... HR
