How close to the workpiece does the blade guard get? My CMS collects about half of the cuttings with the vac port (195 cfm vac). The rest gets thrown out back. In the shop, I set the CMS up close to a shop wall and just suck up the pile that forms under the saw when I'm done.
Sawdust funnel
Has anyone gotten anything like this to work?

What's happening is the sawdust is hitting the white stuff so fast its getting deflected upwards. I might have to put a lip on the top or something.
Hardly anything goes into the little cloth bag. In fact I took it off and watched it while I cut the end off a scrap and hardly anything came out. Even had the wife hold a shop vac hose up to it.
The sawdust comes out by the blade.
This is a work in progress. It does help keep the floor clean, but not as well as I expected.
That white material is bathroom wall stuff. It's really flimsy. A 4x8 sheet of it cannot stand up leaning against the wall, it just flops over. It seems to be vinyl or something similar.
$25 for a 4x8 sheet at Menards.
Probably the perfect material for tool box drawer liners. Cuts easily with a utility knife or scissors.
