While many scrollsaws have accessories that blow dust away from the cut, doing so only means future cleanup. My solution solves the sawdust problem. I positioned the end of an extra crevice tool for my shop vac as close as possible to the throat opening (the end of the nozzle may be modified to suit the purpose if necessary) and attached it to the trunnion of the saw with a ¼ -20 “U” bolt, washers and two 4-prong plastic knobs. It does not interfere with blade changing or minor tilting of the table, and gets 99% of the dust. (This setup works perfectly with my DeWalt DW788. Other saws may require slightly different hardware.)
