It only takes a few seconds to spin up with the larger motor on it. As far as dust collection - the tables are open, so I had originally fit a wedge underneath with a 4" port on the outfeed side, but according to my friend, it's not necessary and he just has a 4" open pipe on the floor near the outfeed side that he sweeps up once a month or so.
That's a wild coincidence! Was that the October edition? I would like to see those articles. This was a project, and I can tell you that learning from someone else would've been super helpful when moving that much cast iron around.
The hardest part was re-leveling and ensuring the tables were co-planar when re-assembling it. You have 8 level screws, and something like 60 set screws for the blades. It was a fiddly process!
