Rousseau Downdrafter [Posted on 2007-07-18]
I have a 10" compund sliding miter saw bolted to a table top. I attached the downdrafter to the back of the table. Installation was easy -- make sure you put the miter saw rails as deep as you can into the downdrafter. It has a 4" connector at the base to attach to a vacuum system. I tried it both with a portable vacuum and with my main Delta vacuum. The downdrafter did not work very well with the portable vacuum. With the Delta, the downdrafter helps to contain about 60% of the dust. It slides on the rails and the head swivels to enable horizontal movement of the miter saw for angle and bevel cuts. I'm happy with improving dust collection, but don't expect this hood to capture all the dust.
4500 DownDrafter thoughts... [Posted on 2008-07-27]
It's a great product and a well thought out concept, but I'm having trouble getting the rails spaced correctly. If they're not just right the unit binds when you slide it. They mention this in the directions but I thought there was a tad more wiggle room than there is....
