There is some inspiration to be gleaned from the one of this page of

Dust hose attaches in the wrong place. To do any good at all, the dust
hose needs to attach at
the *front* of the blade guard, not the rear.


That makes sense now. How could they have got that wrong (just
rhetorical question)?
Thanks Doug.

Well It may not be wrong, SawStop claims extreme efficiency with their
guard and the hose is at the rear. It all depends on the turbulence
and flow inside the guard.

Someone posted in the comments section of that video, that the person in
the video is "standing on the wrong side of the fence". What do you think?


It may be the "wrong side" in someone's mind but it sure looks right
to me. If there is a kick-back, he's not going to get bloody. I
*try* to work from that side of the fence.
