• a saw blade rotatably supported in the blade housing;
• a fence including left and right sides and a rear side between the left and right sides;
• a chute including a top portion and a bottom portion, with the top portion including an upper end, with the bottom portion including a bottom end spaced from the upper end of the top portion along a first axis, with the top portion further including first and second side edges spaced from each other along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, with the chute formed of a material having a stretchability to be shaped responsive to movement of the blade housing into a moveable sawdust path, with the moveable sawdust path being in communication with the dust evacuation port;
• a top attachment member mounted to the blade housing and having a shape approximating the blade housing, with the top attachment member being flexible, with the upper end of the top portion removably and reattachably engaged with the top attachment member;
• a bottom attachment member mounted to the rear side of the fence and having a shape approximating the rear side of the fence, with the bottom attachment member being flexible, with the bottom portion removably and reattachably engaged with the bottom attachment member, with the bottom attachment member located below the top attachment member along the first axis;
• at least one first attachment location at the first side edge of the top portion;
• at least one second attachment location at the second side edge of the top portion;
• a first side tension cord including first and second ends, with the first end of the first side tension cord attached to the at least one first attachment location, with the second end of the first side tension cord attached to the left side of the fence;
• and
• a second side tension cord including first and second ends, with the first end of the second side tension cord attached to the at least one second attachment location, with the second end of the second side tension cord attached to the right side of the fence.
