Grizzly g1023 table saw vacuum system
I have the grizzly table saw and inside the cabinet is the hose that is hooked to the blade guard that goes back to the dust collection port. It does not seem to pick up very much dust with a dedicated dust collector system that I have from grizzly and it appears that the hose has various twist and turns in it and I was wondering if anyone has had an issue with the dust collection inside the cabinet from this and did you do anything about it.
Thanks,
Mike

I don't know that saw, but I find that overarm dust collection collects more dust than underneath.
I have thought about doing overarm but I have a grizzly dust collector with one 4 inch port and I have tried to do a y adapter to a 2 inch hose but it did not produce enough suction. I may break down and add a small shop vac for overarm since its cheaper than replacing the dst coller.

I have that saw and took out the hose, replaced the 4" port with a 6" and there is no more dust in the cabinet. Overhead dust collection is also helpful, and it pays to cover up the gaps at the saw height and angle adjustment wheels. If you don't have a strong dust collector to move up to a 6" port, I'd add an overhead guard/collector. I had an excalibur model and it worked pretty well.
I have an older version without any hose.
The main place for leakage on mine was between the cast top and the cabinet. Seal that area up and dist collection improves
