How effective is the dust shroud during slab flattening?

🔍 It’s very effective – SpeTool cites about **90% of wood particles** are captured when using the shroud with a decent vacuum:contentReference[oaicite:58]{index=58}. In real-world use, that means instead of a huge pile of shavings all around the slab and a cloud of dust, you’ll have most of it whisked away through the hose. Some very heavy chips might still fall out or a fine layer of dust might remain on the slab (you can’t get every last speck), but the difference is night and day. People who flatten without dust collection often end up under inches of shavings; with the shroud, you might just have to lightly sweep the slab and surrounding area. Plus, your vacuum is sucking up the fine dust that you’d otherwise be breathing. So, in short: it catches the vast majority of debris and makes flattening jobs far cleaner and more pleasant.
