Topic tags/keywords: miter saw hood

This shall be temporary…or forever, undecided :) For the longest time, I needed a hood behind my miter saw. Always a simple project to do, but found that I always had to finish something else. Well, while browsing a local auction, I picked this up for $5. Comes with plastic structures and metal poles. I immediately though of a miter saw hood :) With some tie wraps and a knife. And somehow, this actually works! Has zipper front to open fully for cleaning out, side pockets for storage, and made a “V” shape on the backside to enter into a 6” duct collection fitting.

-- The Carpenter Bee is derived from the Ancient Greek word wood-cutter "xylokopos/ξυλοκὀπος"

Basically the same thing, right? Fabric hood with tent poles (probably the flexible plastic ones). -- The Carpenter Bee is derived from the Ancient Greek word wood-cutter "xylokopos/ξυλοκὀπος"
