I need to do something about the dust from my Makite 10" sliding compound miter saw. It's the one tool I don't have hooked up to either my Festool CT33 or Grizz G1029 dust collector. And man does it kick up the dust.
I was thinking about making a stationary bench similar to Norms on NYW or Jim Becker's rig on his website. http://sawsndust.com/p-miterstation.htm. Probably something in between as I'd like to have some cabinet space underneath too.
Would like to hear member's solutions to their miter saw dust problem. Please post ideas / drawings and/or pictures of your solutions. Jim Becker, are you happy with the downdraft element of your bench? Love to hear your thoughts and perhaps some more info on the downdraft element.
Has anyone had any success hooking up a Festool DE to a non-kapex miter saw? It looks like the connections almost fit. Was wondering if there were any Festool or non-Festool adapter solutions out there.
I think I'll have to acquire a 10" or 12" compound saw as the width of the workbench would be too great to accommodate a slider. Thanks in advance.
