Tools and Hardware Reviews of PSI Woodworking TSGUARD Table Saw Dust Collection Guard
Customer Review: Good Enough For The Job
Summary: 4 Stars
Took about an hour to hook to my Powematic 66. For the price its a good deal. Box it was shipped was tore open but no parts were missing just scratched up (they should package better). Tiawian Manual Terrible so just use some common sense to assemble. Had to add a tiestrap at hose and blade guard to keep it level. There is a lot of sag on the boom at 50" so I will add some support for it. Cover is nice and works fine, keeps dust from flying into my face even without vacuum hooked up. If you want the bare minimum in a dust cover then this adequate. If I would have had more money to spend I would got one of the others. The cover lifts easily to adjust to board thickness and stays put so I am happy for what I got. I have been using my saw for 20 years without a cover but I decided to reduce my risk by trying out a cover. I feel safer and cut some boards with it with no inconvenience. I use the Beismeyer splitters and this cover fits over it fine.Customer Review: Good Value

This is a good product for the price and works as good as the more expensive ones. The only problem is the instructions may as well be thrown away. I suggest going by the pictures only. You will have to adapt this unit for your saw but its not hard and will only take about an hour for you to figure it out.Customer Review: Good Value

I have been using this table saw dust collector for several months now and have no complaints. It has greatly diminished the amount of table top dust and I believe it is a good value for the money. I took advantage of the ceiling mount option and I am happy with it. I have two blast gates arranged so that I can adjust suction between the blade guard collector and the collection hood that I placed under the blade. (I have a Sears contractor table saw and a Sears 1.5hp dust collector.) I give this product 4 stars based on price and function. Assembly was relatively easy.Customer Review: Good for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this item on Amazon. The packing could probably be better, but then sometimes small items are wrapped so much you destroy them trying to get them out of the box and the plastic wrap. I had someone working on the installation and when I went out to see how he was doing, he was having problems with the instructions. However, the whole thing is pretty intuitive if you are a little mechnically inclined. We decided to bolt it to the side of the Hitachi saw table and it took a little manuevering to get it where it needed to be, but now very stury. The cover it a bit crooked when up in the air but straight put over the blade. I added an extra handle, and want to look for a light. I was going to pay almost $600.00 for the HTC but glad I did not. This seems to be just fine. I haven't actually cut any wood yet but for a novice, I feel better about the safety if affords and the extra dust collection. The arm was much too long for my use, but the portable band saw corrected that problem with little trouble. I think it has a lot of flexiability, is built very stury, and for the price, you can't beat it with a stick--well you could beat it with a stick and do no damage. :)Customer Review: Just don't do it...

Yes, you can buy this guard... Yes it is cheaper than any other similar option... There is a great reason for that...
It is a poorly made, cheap knock off of a good idea. If you want something to hang on your saw, to make it look impressive, and then never use the saw again, go ahead. If you plan on cutting material with the saw, then I would highly suggest accepting the fact that you get what you pay for in this unit, and buy one of the better quality brands.
Mine is sitting in the scrap heap having virtually never been used after it was installed. We spent days trying to get the unit to work well before pulling it off, to no avail...
