HI Steve
Finally got around to sorting the poor dust extraction on the 419 - lets a very good saw down. Works really well now with almost no dust escaping at all.
This is what I did:
I gut a peice of ply to fit the bottom of the saw cabinet and fitted a 4" coupling to it.
I made a T piece from some very cheap pipe fitting I picked up in B&Q. I cut the curves out using a little £10 grinder (like a cheap Dremel) fitted with a 20mm cutting disk. I glued this together using a hot melt glue gun
I brought a 'Y' piece for the back of the cabinet which attached to my 'T'piece and cut a piece of 3/4" ply to seal pone side of it. I sanded the disk at an angle around it's periphery to allow me to tap it into the 'Y' and to stop it sliding in under suction.
I drilled a hole in this to accept some pipe from the crown guard dust port.
I sealed the rear slot for the dust outlet to move in with a piece of card and taped over the holes in the front.
Fianlly I fitted small piece of pipe from the other Y piece exit to a reducer attached to the rear dust port on the saw.
Well worth doing in my opinion
