Dust Collection at the Tablesaw

Terry,

That is a nice looking guard! I sent you an email about it, as I could not find the plans on the Wood Magazine site.

Thanks!

Bill,

That's an interesting concept I hadn't considered before; it's similar to some of the router table plans I've seen. Did you do anything to cover the rear of the saw? On mine, the motor hangs out of the back, along with the belt, etc. Since you said you had this saw, I suppose it's not possible for you to take a picture of the back? Anybody else?

Thanks,
John

I just did a back panel for my JET contractor saw. It was fairly simple -- made more so because there are several templates on the net for the shape of the cutouts needed for a JET. Here are a couple of pictures that I used as a reference:

Printing out a template saved me a lot of preliminary checking, but I still had to do some fine tuning on the final 1/4" hardboard. These pictures probably won't be exactly what you need for your saw, but should give you an idea.
