In Response To: Rip strips outside (Jay Babina)

: I would recommend to rip most of your strips at once and make the effort to
: do it outside. It's an enormous amount of sawdust and even in the winter
: it's not that bad outside. For your other cutting chores you can deal with
: a bag or vacuum situation inside.

: Best accessory you can get for the saw is casters.

I agree with Jay. I rip strips in my attached garage with the strips ending up outside in the snow. When done ripping, I pick up the huge pile of dust and clean the saw and garage with my leaf blower. This method is much better than filling your basement with more dust than you can control.
