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)

I used to have a Craftsman contracter style saw. It had a metal shroud
that completely enclosed the blade, and a dust port for a shop vac on
the back. The whole assembly would tilt with the blade. Best dust
collection I've ever seen on a table saw, and that was when being used
with a shop vac. I can't imagine it would be too hard to make
something like this to fit your saw. Maybe take a run up to a local
Sears and look at one to get the idea - mine was the saw with the
sliding table miter gauge thingy(that was a horrible mess to use).
