    Default SCMS with best Dust Collection

    Can anyone please advise the SCMS with the best dust collection feature. I have seen sheds with dust from the SCMS , like the Makita LS1212, blown all over the the bench at the rear and sides of the saw. And that was with the inbuilt nozzle directing dust in to a small bag on the top of the machine

    regards,
    Jill

    Hi Jill,
    Without doubt, the Festool Kapex KS120 attached to a good vacuum.
    I have an LS1214 and a Kapex, there is no comparison.

    Regards,

    Rob

    Default Dust shield

    G'day Jill,

    Not exactly a DC, but an alternative. Something along this line,



    http://www.fastcap.com/sawhood.aspx

    Or maybe this setup, http://www.rousseauco.com/downdrafter/index.htm

    One of the pic is a home made dust shield with a huge DC port down below.

    None of which I own or use, but just a thought.

    Cheers

    The little dust collection box that comes with some Makitas is good, it's not perfect, but its pretty good.
