ideas needed for dust hood/collection for miter saw
Looking for your creative ideas on how best to contain dust from a 12"
Dewalt dual-bevel miter saw. It will be stationary on a bench. I will run a 6" DC line to it (S&D most of the way, short flex the rest of the way) I was thinking to build a hood around it and a single 6" port at the back bottom. It miters 50 degrees L and R. |

That looks pretty impressive.
I'm hoping I can fabricate something very similar. In the process I plan to use 6" ducting vs 4". The airflow is double. I'll be taping into my DC line. I agree about the health concerns. If not already, you may want to consider a good back for your DC. Those stock bags are not very good at stopping the 10 micron particles which happen to be the ones that lodge most deeply into your lungs. Much has been said about this lately. DC mfgs really need to step up their efforts to start collecting the small stuff. I have one of those Jet canister DCs. It's suppose to be 2 micron, but even that is not so whippy. I think their are after market filters now in the 0.5 micron range.

Dewalt dual-bevel miter saw. Penn State sells something called a "Big Gulp" hood for $20. I have used it with great success on a RAS. I imagine it would work as well on a miter saw and should be deep enough to handle a SCMS. Try this link: http://www.pennstateind.com/Merchant...teg ory_Code= |
