Most people just have the SCMS firing back into a large collection box with an opening tailored to accommodate the saw when it is leaned and pivoted in both directions but if you are like me and make most cuts at 90* then you can use 1/4" ply and make an insert that fits closely around the saw as it moves at 90* to the wood and then attach it with magnets and put a handle (or two) on it so you can quickly pull it off for mitered cuts. That way you get excellent dust control for all the 90* cuts which for me is most of the time.

Edit: I can't remember if the Glider has lasers or shadow lines or nothing. If it doesn't have shadow lines (which I love) there is a guy on youtube that uses a sewing machine light to make an excellent shadow line on his (I think) Makita.
