Like the Rousseau 5000?

...Ye i know, it sounds like a racing event that we'll never get tickets to. But really it's a dust hood for a mitre saw :shock:

They have these in the USA, but i can't find them, or anything similar, in the UK market. These would be ideal for me as i really don't have the storage room for those huge wooden box type affairs that ppl often make to channel the dust. Why do we not have these available in the UK?

Their web site lists a UK distributer (http://www.toolovation.co.uk/product_p/dac5000.htm) on the 'Where to Buy' menu.

...oops ..although at nearly £200 it seems a little steep for what it is, which is a small tent of sorts.
I am still left wondering why there is so little choice here in the UK, considering that mitre saws are one of the biggest dust offenders in the workshop. Ive even thought about getting one of those "Big Gulp" hoods that you place behind the saw but i'm not sure how successful that would be?
