The  last couple days I've been firing up the old SS for some multi tasking.   One thing I noticed is that the accessories -- band saw, jointer, and disk sander use a rather large dust collection device -- the floor.   And my pants and shoes.   Back in the day, very few tools incorporated any kind of dust collection capabilities and SS was no exception.  I've got a Delta band saw that has a dust port but 90% of the dust gets scattered, an oscillating spindle sander with none, and I remember the old Delta and Craftsman "contractor" table saws that just dumped the sawdust out the bottom.  Even my Unisaw just has a tray at the bottom tilted to dump the dust out the side   I fitted a box around the opening and connected up to a dust port, but ended up with pants full of sawdust yesterday coming out the arch for the blade tilt mechanism.

Table saws need over the blade suction.  There is always a lot of dust on the saw table when I'm done sawing.  Ripping isn't too bad but I trim a lot of wood to perfect square for turning and dust escapes easily when only one side of the blade is cutting.

I find the Shark Guard makes a HUGE difference in sawdust needing attention after cutting.

Embrace it.  Just throw on floor and sweep it up.  Cleans the floor which if your is like mine needs to be done daily.  If you are lucky I hit it once a month.  Maybe.
