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've had a Fastcap for several years. It works well and keeps dust
from flying everywhere but isn't all that easy to clean if you're OCD.
It's worth the money, IMO.

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.

That information is important. As I said, it works well and folds up
so it's fairly portable. The worry I'd have in your application is
that it has nooks and crannies between the steel ribs and covering
that sawdust gets into. You might drop dust out of it while setting
up or tearing down. Maybe if you put it in another plastic "envelope"
used for transport, it would minimize the problem.

BTW, I have the Dewalt saw stand and can't recommend it more highly.
It would be perfect for this application.

Thanks for the added info.
I'm not too concerned with dropping a pile or two of sawdust when
cleaning up, as I always carry a small shopvac to jobs and do a
once-around with it prior to leaving a site.

What I don't like to deal with (or my clients) is the airborne stuff
that floats around the room. These "hoods" perhaps coupled with a vac
seem like a very good solution to it.

I've seen that and am impressed. Years back I got the Ridgid portable
CMS stand and have been tickled pink with it.

Ahhh, so nice to have a cyber stalker.
Unlike you, I don't hide behind anonymity, which often leads to cowards
like you checking out my website looking for ammunition for their lame
attempts at insults.

I have enough mutual respect for my fellow community members-- and the
balls-- to post my insults using my real name and making it easy for
cyber stalkers to know who I am. :-) I don't post anything in here I
wouldn't say to someone's face. Unlike you.

I've asked before if your lack of punctuation was due to some sort of
disability. You didn't answer so we're all left to assume you're just
lazy or think you're too cool for school or whatever.

I think you'll find you'll get a modicum of respect in here if you quit
posting ignorant comment behind an anonymous pseudonym.
