Review on Enhance Precision & Visibility: Rousseau 5000-L Lighted Dust Solution for Miter Saws by George Kapoor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Contains MDF dust! for saw blades, parts and accessories

I got tired of dodging raindrops by running back and forth to my shed where I brought my 12 inch miter saw from DeWalt had set up. A Rousseau hood allowed me to set up my saw in a room where I was laying oak floors, window and door trim, and baseboards without a cloud of dust soaking everything. The hood seemed to contain it very well. Some of the larger particles that couldn't swim fell straight down and were easily picked up. The LED lighting was worth the extra cost, glad I backlit it. It should be mentioned that this is not Rousseau's fault, but that the vacuum adapter listed as purchased does not fit into the connection on the back of the extractor hood. This is the same size I thought the Woodstock adapter would fit. I am happy with the hood.

Pros
  • Hood folds into a sturdy bag for compact storage and transport
Cons
  • No
