According to Harbor Freight's website, their 12" SCMS (model# 61969 or
61970 ) is comparable to the Kobalt SM3055LW and Harbor Freight doesn't
list a comparable saw to their Hercules (Model#63978).

Drat!Â* Would snatch up one of those DustChuter's for my HF SCMS in a
heartbeat.


Just tell them you have an Harbor Freight model thus and so and see
what they do.Â* They may decide that it's worth testing.



I did exactly that on Friday and have not yet heard back from them.Â* If
I get a response - ANY response - I'll share it.

I mentioned that I live about 30 miles from their location and would be
more than willing to pick up and test a unit and help adapt one.


I received an e-mail response from Milescraft, Inc today which informed
me that they had not yet tested my model numbers from Harbor Freight and
offered to ship me a prototype along with generic instructions for
installation. They also sent me a letter detailing what they expected
of me (photos, critique of their existing instruction manual, honest
comments and evaluation of the product, etc) none of which were onerous.
I agreed to their terms and await the receipt of the product for
pre-production testing.
