How well does Kapex DC hold up?

[Eli]

i am considering a kapex but i am curious how the dust extraction holds up under heavy use on a sliding mitersaw like the kapex.

Do you mean can the extractor handle the constant use without breaking? Yes.

Or do you mean does it collect every single scrap of dust? No.

I take two extractors to a heavy use site, one for the Kapex and one for everything else. You still have to vac up when you're done. I usually put down a dropcloth before I set up the Kapex and just fold it up to be shaken out somewhere else. Then when everything is packed up, I give it a once over with the extractor at the end of the day.
