Dust collection was good when hooked to a shop vacuum. Low points: The lightweight aluminum table has a rough texture and vibrated significantly during use. It has an odd-size miter slot (less than 3/4" wide) with a toyish miter gauge. Table adjustments are iffy because of no common-angle detents and flimsy supports and unreliable scales. With no brake, the aluminum platen spins for nearly a minute after shutdown. More points: It stalled when we sanded using strong force, but it's passable for most jobs.
