A sawdust collection cup of a dust collection system for use with a panel saw is disposed proximal a bottom of a vertically disposed channel member. The sawdust collection cup has an open top, a front portion disposed for receiving sawdust from in front of a workpiece, and a rear portion aligned with the channel member that functions as a catch basin for sawdust ejected into the channel member for receiving sawdust from the rear side of the workpiece. The sawdust collection cup further defines an outlet for connecting to a dust collection hose.
