I probably wouldn't do it unless I had some form of dust collection going
(besides my broom, that is). I figure that should keep enough air
circulating to keep things cool. I've heard comments before that if a table
saw is sealed up too tightly, the dust collection becomes an issue because
there's not enough air flow in the pipes to get the dust from point A to
point B, so some people had to drill holes in places. Table saw inserts
would be one place, but around the motor might be an idea as well.

I like the idea, and definitely see the upside with the freedom of
tilt.

BUT, do you think there's any issue w/ potential over-heating and/or
dust infusion to the motor? (though, the 185 has a TEFC, yes? ... I
can't recall at the moment...)
