This is the dust port you want, very reasonably priced also.

I did the same except that it is held on with magnets and I just slip
it off for bevel cuts.

I just received this from PSI. There were no directions included on
how to install it. I have read what they say about this item at PSI
several times and I'm confused. lol ...Any idea how how it would be
mounted under the saw?

Congrats on the new saw!
Here is a simple way that but you need to remove for angled cuts.

combined with an adapter or shoot at the bottom does a good job.
This is a little more complicated but allows you to tilt the saw.

I now use this method and it works great. Just don't drop the arbor
nut when changing blades ;-)

In general, it's very hard to get "good" dust collection on a contractors
saw, altho you can get "OK" collection on one.
What I did with mine was to funnel it down towards the back (under the
motor) so that you have no abrupt changes and put a 4" male fitting at the
end of the funnel.
Next up was closing in the back of the cabinet...I did this with some 1/8"
thick tempered hardboard, cutting and fitting to close off as much as I
could. As I very rarely cut a bevel on my saw, I just remove what I have to
in order to tilt the blade and fill in with a piece or two of cardboard.
There are usually enough gaps and openings between the table and the cabinet
that you will not have to worry about blocking it iff too much and starving
you DC system.

Why don't you check out Grizzly. I got a plastic one with my saw. I'm sure
it would fit any contractors saw. You may have to get it from their parts
department;. Tell them you want the one for the G0444Z You may have to
install some hold down clips.

As with most dust connections there aren't any instructions. I mounted
mine from under the saw useing #10 bolts with Nylock nuts and washers.
I think some of you are missing the advantages to the PSI dust hood.
If you go to the website it's explained in detail as to why this is
the best dust hood on the market.

Delta makes an adapter that has a bit of taper to the hole and hose
connector. You may want to look into using that or making a similar setup
to fit your saw. I use 1/4" plywood to cover the back of my saw and left
clearance for the belt. Overall, works pretty good.

No, the dust port you want is an OATEY 3" - 4" Thermoplastic All Flash
No-Calk Roof Flashing you get at Home Depot for under $5. This is
perfect for a 3 or 4" PVC pipe, because thats what it's made for. This
is what I used on my table saw and jointer.

Grizzly wants $15.50 for it Item # 143. It has a 4" opening for a dust
collector hose. By the time you buy what others have suggested it'll cost
you more than that.
