February 5, 20188 yr comment_139587 Hi all how have you resolved the dust issues with your Compound mitre saws? If any of you have plans can you please share them. Report
February 5, 20188 yr comment_139589 I have an early Hitachi slider. It came with a dust bag attachment. I made an adapter to mate the bag attachment port to a dust collector port. It is not 100% but it does get most of the stuff- when I remember to turn on the main collector. Report

February 6, 20188 yr comment_139672 I like that, Pete. While a totally dust free workshop is a worthy goal, I think it's a myth. Report
February 6, 20188 yr comment_139684 In practical, DIY, terms, I agree that 100% is not worth the doing. However, I have done 100%* systems, and if I could be paid now what I charged then, I'd be happy to help!!! *HIV lab for example, but also radiological and chemical. Lots of nasty things out there that make wood dust (and asbestos!!) look pretty benign. Report

February 6, 20188 yr comment_139693 I do 100% on my chop saw. It is under the bench never used. I use the RA saw and have it contained 90+% . It plunges out of a enclosed wooden box with a 6" DC hose hooked to it. the blade runs in a ZC slot with a dado under it that feeds back to the box. nothing comes out of the exhaust fitting on the bladeguard. I will post a thread on how i did it. Herb Report
