Seems to me that FWW published an article some while back about how to
make a back for this very saw. Was rather involved with lots of cutouts
in some 1/4" plywood if I recall. It did allow for tilting the arbor.
Still had lots of holes but I guess it did enough of a good job that FWW
decided to write it up. Wish I could remember the year but then there
are lots of things I wish for in my dotage. Anyone with a library care
to enlighten us on the issue?

I have an 8 year old Delta contractor saw that I have conected to my
delta DC. I used a 14" generic TS adapter and boxed it in to fit the
delta. I also put a couple ramps in to assist in the dust movement.
The question is how in the h**l do I block the back of the saw off to
contain all the dust. I made a cover that fit around all the motor
mounts and the belt but now I can't tilt my blade.

Anybody figure out a better way to do it?

I use 1/4" hardboard with cutouts for the belt, etc. It's secured with
magnets. When I need to tilt the blade, I have to remove the panel.
Fortunately the majority of my cuts are not with the blade tilted.
