I'v got a Onieda cyclone dust collection system which works great.
I've plumbed the entire shop and use blast gates and a remote control
to turn on and off the cyclone. However, I've never been satisfied
with getting the dust from my contractors saw with the open back and
the motor sticking out beyond the table and it having to rotate for
bevel cuts.

Anybody have a suggestion? (And,no, I don't want to buy a new saw)

Here is what I found online:

But, one of the magazines had an article on just this not long ago. The web
link gives a general idea... you'd have to figure out the exact cuts for
your saw. My Powermatic has a shroud under the blade which seems to do
pretty good so I haven't fooled with a back cover.
