MICROJIG GRR-RIPPER MDC-17 Micro Jig Magnetic Dust Cover For Steel Table Saws, Blue
M**5
I painted mine to blend in with my saw.
This did help to cut down on dust on my SawStop PCS. However, I must be the only one who hated the look of the light blue & yellow vinyl stuck to the front of my saw. Therefore, I painted it with a coat of gloss black and now it is barely noticeable on my saw. It’s easy to cut to your liking and to paint to match your saw.

Works but not really impressed...
It is what I expected for the most part. Cuts easily with scissors to fit your saw. The sticker is obnoxious and dumb-especially considering the printing would have to be upside down for my saw. I quick blast of Unisaw Gray and that problem is fixed. I don't know what a sheet of plain magnet costs but I'd go that route if I was buying again to not have the ugly billboard printing or having to paint it...It is almost like they were meant to be swag at trade shows and decided to sell them instead.

Great concept with one caveat
Microjig makes some great products. I use their safety products consistently on my table saw and router table. Dust is always a health and cleanliness issue when working wood. My Jet JPS table saw has dust collection capability, and has a 4" Delta dust collector on it.The issue that the Microjig magnetic dust cover addresses is the large gap in the cabinet where the height adjustment resides. This large gap draws in air to the dust collector, but not significant dust. It this reduces the vacuum at the blade protrusion. This is particularly true with zero-clearance inserts.The magnetic dust cover fits around the shaft of the height adjustment wheel, attempting to seal the gap below the wheel that shoes the tilt angle. In my case, the tilt angle is indicated with a protruding pointer. Because it protrudes beyond the steel side surface, the magnetic cover is bulged there, creating a modest opening for air entry. Not as large as without it, so it does do most of its job.Construction is fully adequate, with a fairly thick magnetic sheet. (Haven't measured the thickness, but greater than magnetic bumper stickers.) You must make a cut (scissors) to put it around the shaft, as the typical adjustment wheel is far larger than the shaft hole in the dust cover. NBD, as the cut can be situated over the steel side, leaking no air.Bottom line: this is a fairly inexpensive way of helping dust collection.

GREATLY IMPROVED DUST COLLECTION
I installed a new Saw Stop table saw, contractors model. I was very disappointed with the dust collection. Much more saw dust was escaping than I was use to. There is a very large clearance cutout in the front panel of the saw. I slapped this magnetic dust cover to the front panel of the saw and the dust collection improved a great deal. This magnetic dust cover covers the gap in the front metal cover of the saw. Simple. This item should be standard for every SawStop table saw.

Seemed like a good idea
In an effort to make our Sawstop PCS a little better at dust extraction we purchased this. It looks neat on the front of the machine, but we haven't noticed much of a difference in dust collection. We got better duct collection by hooking up the shop vac to the overarm dust port and only running the 100mm Chip/Dust Extractor to the main port at the base of the saw. Note this only works with 90 degree cuts, as you have to take it off when you tilt the blade for bevel cuts.

easy to install just mark and trim I had to ...
works very well it improved my dust collection for my saw, easy to install just mark and trim I had to cut a section off then trim it to get atound my blade height wheel but it was very easy to do not the slot is closed around the slot we.. worth the cost I would buy again

Magnetic pizza menu from the fridge works too.
Doesn't fit my Grizzly saw but can be cut to a close fit.

Have to move it if you are not cutting 45deg.
Second one I bought and will try to improve on the install to help with cutting angles other than 90deg. Small angle changes not a problem but at 45deg it is.
