In the past, we’ve reviewed the basics of dust collection for your woodworking shop. But what happens when you step outside the friendly confines of your shop? What’s the best way to control dust at the jobsite? Today’s post looks at dust extractors—tools that deliver point-of-origin dust control and an array of time-saving features. To help you solve the problem of jobsite dust extraction, we are going to cover the following topics:
Two new Magnum Industrial table saws have arrived at KMS Tools!
Need to improve on your existing table saw guard? The Magnum Industrial 10″ overarm blade cover is the perfect solution.

Plus it connects to your dust collection system for efficient dust collection at the source.
DeWalt FLEXVOLT has arrived at KMS Tools! One of the most exciting products in this new line is the DHS790AT2 12″ cordless dual bevel sliding mitre saw. That’s right, a cordless mitre saw.
