Another question I have regarding shop suction - I have a nice 220 v. dust collector, and am trying to build different hookups for the various tools. One is a 12" sliding compound miter box,for which I need some kind of "hood." What I see making is a big box to sit behind the tool with a cavernous arched opening to accomodate its swing and the hose at
the bottom. That's the best I can come up with. The tablesaw didn't come with a hose attachment on the blade housing, so I just stuck a sheet of plywood in the bottom of the enclosure with a hose-hole, and it works really well. My shop is connected to a storage facility with million-dollar vintage cars belonging to the landlord in it, so I have to watch my ps&qs with the dust, especially since it's one forced air heating system for the whole building.
