That’s good to know. How is the dirt and debris situation where it falls through the swisstrax to the concrete underneath? Can you just shop vac it up easy?

Yes, it all comes up fine. I took some pictures today demonstrating this, I’ll upload them once I’m back to my computer.

Here's an example -

I ran the table saw in order to cut some adjustable shelves for the cabinets. Here is the pile of dust I had under the saw:

Normally, I'll use a dust pan to scoop up anything above the tile. Then, I'll take a broom and sweep the dust down into the grooves of the tile. That's all that needs to be done to make the floor look clean again.

After:

Another angle before:

and after:

Looking down at the tile, you can clearly see it is filthy:

What I'll normally do is in the evening after I'm done using the saws, I'll give the floor a quick sweeping. Then, after a couple weeks, I'll vacuum it all out with a shop vac. My shop vac has no problem pulling the dust through the tiles. It's nice not having to drag the shop vac out every night when I quit working, especially if I'll start working again the following day.

Here's the first cabinet with the adjustable shelves installed. This will be the cabinet I keep my detailing supplies in. It's such a relief to get this product out of the cardboard box and organized again. Now, maybe the vehicles will finally get some long overdue TLC.
