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.

How close to the workpiece does the blade guard get?
I have to hold it up when I do a miter, or it'll get stuck on the workpiece.
Kills a lot of space. Glad you guys have such roomy shops
It does take up space. That's why my miter bench has wheels. If I need to get a car in there, I can roll it off to the side, roll it into the unheated side of the pole barn, or if I absolutely have to, I can roll it outside.
