Have scrap plywood?
Have scrap S&D PVC sized to fit your DC ducting?
Have 10 minutes spare time?
I did, and slapped this thing together, I know nothing fancy schmancy, and I managed to break not 1, but 2 countersinking pilot bits… I did however get to give my HF SCMS a workout cutting the angles for this, and I am pleased as punch with the results.

12” SCMS, and I wrote an out of the box initial review of it. Decent enough saw, great for the money. Harbor Freight wasted their labor and $$ installing a blade on it though. The OEM blade is useless, I put a Freud Diablo 80T on it and it cuts like a dream…
jjohnston, looks good! I hope I don’t end up regretting making the mouth so narrow… But somehow I suspect it will do what I want it to…
22.5 degrees, just keep that in mind. I made mine 12” wide, 6” deep with a 22.5 degree sweep inside…

I have a store bought sweep, but I attached it to my old built-in bench with some plywood. I am in Las Vegas at the moment, so no pictures, unless I can find an old one.
Have a good one, I am off to bed, not much sleep last night due to work…......

jjohnston not a bad idea on the push broom width… This one matches my wide head angled broom… The push broom wasn’t even considered, stupid me sometimes I guess!
