Yikes I hope it works - I've not had chance to put all the bits together yet to test it out... Router Table construction and a leaking sunroof have distracted me this weekend.

I'm also looking forward to seeing DavidE's solution to this.


Me too. Poor dust extraction is a pet hate of mine. I know that it is hard to capture all the dust on a mitre saw, but IMHO 99% of manufacturers don't even try to come up with a satisfactory way. That said it is worth putting up with this little problem to use a quality saw.

I am sure it will be perfect when its finished Dave

Thanks for the review Mike, very interesting. I don't know how good it is but you can fashion a large hood behind the saw and dispense with the one nozzle fitted. Like this:

Thanks John, its a good idea, and well worth trying.

I've been rumbled!

One of those beasts (alebeit from Axminster) forms part of the planned system. There is also some more cunning as I am trying to get it to follow the saw and stay as close as possible!
