The dust blower that was built in to the scroll saw did not remove much dust. I used my airbrush compressor and assorted irrigation tubing and a bolt to improve it with an external pump. The power box I built to turn on my dust collector and scroll saw needed to be expanded so I plugged in a three outlet splitter. I plugged the dust collector directly into the outlet since it uses more power. All three devices do have their own switches, but this way I can turn them all on at the same time and I don't forget to use the dust collector.
