This is my first post since removing 1“ from my ring and pinkie fingers. I am happy to say that I am doing much better.

I have moved into a new home with a separate garage and my first concern is dust collection. My 12”chop saw spews dust all over as most of them do. I am thinking of making a clear container with movable sides to allow for different sized lumber and a movable front to adjust to different miters. It will have a dust port under the saw and one centered in the back. I am considering lucite or acrylic although I really don't know the properties of either and want to find one that obviously won't shatter.


I would appreciate anyone poking holes in this idea or adding your thoughts.
