Has anyone gotten anything like this to work?

Saw Miter saw Circular saw Mitre saws Motor vehicle

Fluid Wood Gas Composite material Automotive tire

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.

Wow some of the builds here are killer. Beautifully done .
I don't have a picture at the moment but I threw one together is about 1 hour using 1 1/2 in PVC pipe for the support and a simple storage bucket cut to suit. Sits directly behind my saw and has a 4 inch hose connection in the bottom .
The thing about this type of saw is unless you have room and a big budget getting all the dust is a challenge . Get what you can and build on.
I will post images if anyone is interested. Total cost about $20 the image below is a typical Walmart plastic bucket like the one I used.
