I could not find much info on the Biesemeyer 78-955 T-Square Table Saw
BladeGuard System. I could really use the protection but I really need to
collect the sawdust that is flung out from the side of the blade when I make
cuts only on one side of the blade.
I dont know how wide the guard is and if I could mount a 4 dc hose to it? is
there room? I can see putting a sliding panel on the left side so it is flush
with the table when I make the one sided cuts.
The dc setup does not look like it is worth the effort to install it. I can get
the setup for a really good deal. But I want to know if it can do what I need.

I've got the t-square and and glad I do. Getting it installed and
aligned is a pain (on a 10" delta contractors saw), but well worth it.
Here's the guard/dc I built (links to a friends site):

Thanks for the review........I would be interested in a good Biesmeyer deal too. Steve might be
getting a good deal from one of his suppliers though. Never hurts to use the same guys often. They
come through with a good deal once in a while. Sort of a thank you for your continued business.
Hi Steve,
I'm sure you've seen the Penn State Industries blade guard they started
carrying
(http://www.pennstateind.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PS
I&Product_Code=E-10126&Category_Code=)
It has integral 4" dust collection, and doesn't require an extra dc setup
attachment. And it's only $200. I just ordered one, but it hasn't arrived
yet. I'll let you know what I think when I use it awhile. They have free
freight right now, though, if that's an issue to you.

I wish I could say it's mine, but it ain't. It's a friends. I copied
his.
I don't think he does alot of stuff with large sheet goods so I don't
believe the post is a huge problem, but you'd have to ask him.
Good luck,
Folk...

I had thought of building it. if I could get the guard and the arm pre built I
could handle it.
but my ceilings are 10 or 12 up and concrete. a real pain to deal with.

well, I'm impressed. Just checked the tracking email and the guard is
already delivered! I ordered it on Monday afternoon.
I'll install it and post some pictures tonight if I have time, which I
should.

Hi Bob & Steve and everyone else:
I'm going to write up a new post regarding the Penn State Industries blade
guard, but the bottom line is IT SUCKS!
Ok, maybe that's not the most diplomatic description, but I'm calling them
in 7 minutes (at 8:30 AM when they open) and getting an RMA and sending it
back.

With a dust-collector port on it, it's *supposed* to do that! *snicker*

probably too late for me now, but I'm curious what the person didn't like
about it. I tried to find some reviews but was unsuccessful and couldn't
really swing for the higher priced overarm guards. I've bought from PSI
before and been happy, so I kind of went on faith. any info would be
greatly appreciated, thanks!

with the fine sawdust I make I need huge amounts of airflow. but since I have my
dc hanging over my saw I can put a 4" right onto the top.
I don't want almost i want all the dust caught (G)
I think it does come with the splitter but it's the wrong one. but I may be
able to sell it to finance the right one.
