I make them from 1/4" ply or luan door skins (both from the scrap bin) and some thicker material; solid wood or ply. The thicker material allows for the Forstner bit holes for the magnets. Pretty crude but effective . This shows my previous 2-1/2" hose "under the table" shroud versus the current 4".

The variations on bandsaw configs makes a universal fit unlikely. The G0513 series saws look like so:

The two 1" rare earth magnets hold it in place well. It does need to be removed to align guides and so forth but it is just stuck on with magnets so this is pretty quick. It almost jumps back into place when putting it on.

I found a readily available wye to split the pair of 4" hoses from the 6" feeder pretty workable.

It looks a little clumsy but works well in use.

I use short sections of hose between the piped duct and the machines as I do occasionally move the saws to allow access for odd shaped pieces of stock.
