Hi Jim, I wish I could do the same but my patio is surrounded by a six foot fence in my community. HOA would have a fit if they saw me working.

I work outdoors in my patio. The scroll saw is in a garden shed. The kind that the top lifts up. I put the vacuum outside the shed and I am able to hear music fine. The vacuum is a small Harbor Freight model. In fact it is the smallest they have.
-
I used 1/4 inch tubes I got from amazon. $6.49 "Waziaqoc 2PCS Flexible Water Oil Coolant Pipe Hose, with Round Nozzle Hose and Flat Nozzle Hose, 1/4" Thread Plastic Adjustable Cooling Tube. I did not use either of the nozzles that came with it.

Mike Crosa started following Scrollnado and dust
-
I have had the Scrollnado installed for a few months and although I was happy with the nozzle up top the bottom left a lot to be desired. After a few hours of sawing the bottom of the saw together with my pant leg and a tray I had under the saw would be covered in saw dust. A lot of saw dust. 2 weeks ago I switched the intakes from the plastic tubes supplied with the scrollnado, to loc line 1/4" by 6" hoses. I saw an immediate difference. The top was cleared much better and the bottom also improved but I was still getting a lot of saw dust. Then as they say, I had an Eureka moment. Why not attach a funnel to the bottom loc line. The loc lines were stiff enough that they did not move. So I found a small funnel, part of a set I got from Harbor Freight. Think the set was less than $3.00. I had to cut off a piece of the funnel so that the loc line ending would fit inside. I taped it with painters tape and after adjusting the position I started sawing. What a difference. I have included photos of the modification and also a before and after photo of the dust accumulated after 2 hours of scrolling. As a neighbor I used to have used to say "I am very well satisfied.
