Since I don't have 2 grand to plonk down on a Festool Kapex and
Dust Extractor combination, I'm looking for recommendations from
anyone who's used either of the two canopy/hood type collectors
that attach to the saw and funnel the dust into its big bag.

Rousseau and Fastcap seem to be the only two out there. Anyone in
here have and use one of these? How pleased are you and how well do
they work?


I haven't used either of the two you referenced but I did design and
build my own out of plexiglass. Pictures are shown below.

Sorry, I forgot to specify why I want one.
I'm looking for something very portable for use in clients' homes. My
situation in the shop is pretty well taken care of. But I have a crown
job coming up that's on the 3rd floor of a condo building. The client
says he'll put up plastic (nice of him!) but I want to minimize the dust.
