I've posted on this topic before -- sorry -- I'm now ready to buid
one....

I'm looking for plans to build a dust hood for a sliding compound miter
saw (SCMS). I DAGS and found several interesting designs.

One home made version I like can be found at
http://www.woodworking.org/imagepost/users/00002353/ . Look for the
September 17, 2004 entry.

I think I could improve that design with some doors on the front side
to make the opening smaller. You'd only open the doors when making
angled cuts.

Any other designs or pictures?

Cheers.
