Homemade overhead table saw dust nozzle

[Joey Stephenson]

Got some 2 inch PVC pipe and cut up some leftover styrene I had from an R/C truck project to make a custom nozzle/gaurd. Glued the pieces together with Plastruct Plastic Weld. Its connected to a weak little shop vac right now, but it pulls enough to keep the tiny dust at bay, and helps block some chip spray.

Looks like it will be effective. How much sawdust comes off the bottom side of the saw?

As much as you would expect! I don't have a dust collection unit right now, so it just piles up underneath at the moment. Not a problem, currently. I'll eventually get a 1hp shop fox or something. The WEN ceiling mounted 1 micron air cleaner helps to keep the air clean in the mean time.
