I absolutely love my DW716XPS dual bevel 12" CVS. Well, except for the stock dust collection which, quite frankly, sucks.

So I started tinkering. I picked up the dust deflector boot from the Kapex saw. Then I fashioned a metal bracket that wrapped around the back of the blade for the deflector to attach to using the Kapex clip made for it.

The result was a phenomenal increase in dude collection! I dare say 95%+ is now being collected. This compared to maybe 25% prior to the modification.
