I've got a Delta compound miter saw... had it for years, and while it's no Kapex, it does what I need it to do.
Recently, while cleaning it off after use, the dust shroud (the little plastic scoop that directs the sawdust up into the collector) fell off.
Seems like the plastic had gotten brittle over the years, so when it hit the floor, it broke into 3 pieces.
It's an easy part to replace, but as you guessed, neither Delta nor the other usual suspects (eReplacements, etc.) have one available.
The dust collection before was barely adequate; now it's not even that good.
Any ideas what a guy could do?
