If you have never used a radial arm saw, I can tell you they are prodigious sawdust makers.
I have an older Craftsman RAS and need to make a dust collector box for it, using a shop vac to pull sawdust down. Seen the home built dust collector videos but mine has a vee shaped metal base instead of a square one and there just isn't much room back there or under there for a collector box because of a cross member's position.
It also , like all Craftsman RAS came with a crappy thumbscrew arraignment to keep the fence pushed up against the saw table.
None of these are mine but mine is very similar to the one at the top with the triangle shaped steel base. Any suggestions how to proceed with a dust collector box?
