Good ideas all. I learned quickly around 50 years ago that working wood shops have sawdust on the floor. I try to reasonably minimize it, but certainly make no effort to collect all dust unless the dust interferes with a particular operation. I have a decent dust collection system for all my machines, but still end up with some dust on the floor and machines. My miter saw is a Makita and does a good job of collecting much of the dust, but it still ends up on the floor, So every 1/2 hour or so of working I use my other dust collector, a push broom and dust pan. Works well for me.

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.
