Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for catching sawdust from a circular miter saw. The apparatus, in one embodiment, is configured to receive sawdust emitted from an operating circular miter saw and to retain the sawdust within a sawdust receiver. The apparatus may include a sawdust receiver to accumulate sawdust and one or more flexible retention members to substantially segregate portions of a circular miter saw disposed within the sawdust receiver from portions of a circular miter saw outside the sawdust receiver. The flexible retention member may be coupled to the sawdust receiver to prevent sawdust from escaping from the sawdust receiver.
Claims20
An apparatus for catching sawdust from a circular miter saw, the apparatus:
- comprising:
- a sawdust receiver configured to accumulate sawdust emitted from an operating circular miter saw, the sawdust receiver comprising an opening sufficient to encompass portions of a circular miter saw while allowing free operation of a circular miter saw;
- and
- at least one flexible retention member coupled to the sawdust receiver, the at least one flexible retention member configured to substantially segregate portions of a circular miter saw disposed within the sawdust receiver from portions of a circular miter saw outside the sawdust receiver and thereby retain sawdust within the sawdust receiver.
A system for catching sawdust from a circular miter saw, the system comprising:
- a sawdust receiver configured to accumulate sawdust emitted from an operating circular miter saw, the sawdust receiver comprising an opening sufficient to encompass portions of a circular miter saw while allowing free operation of a circular miter saw;
- at least one flexible retention member coupled to the sawdust receiver, the at least one flexible retention member configured to substantially segregate portions of a circular miter saw disposed within the sawdust receiver from portions of a circular miter saw outside the sawdust receiver and thereby retain sawdust within the sawdust receiver;
- and
- a stand configured to bear a circular miter saw.
A method for catching sawdust from a circular miter saw, the method comprising:
- providing a sawdust receiver configured to accumulate sawdust emitted from an operating circular miter saw, the sawdust receiver comprising an opening sufficient to encompass portions of a circular miter saw while allowing free operation of a circular miter saw, and at least one flexible retention member coupled to the sawdust receiver, the at least one flexible retention member configured to substantially segregate portions of a circular miter saw disposed within the sawdust receiver from portions of a circular miter saw outside the sawdust receiver and thereby retain sawdust within the sawdust receiver;
- inserting a circular miter saw into the opening of the sawdust receiver and operating the circular miter saw;
- and
- catching sawdust from the circular miter saw in the sawdust receiver.
