Just for the record, you can get clear PVC primer. The purple just makes it easier for the plumbing inspectors...

So your factory 4" dc outlet doesn't work well??

I have a MM16, almost identical saw. I use the factory port with no problems.

The Revos apparently are designed to clamp railroad ties and pull together horrifically prepared joints

I use a shop vac pulling though a Dust Deputy.
I do notice an improvement with the Cosman approach. By how much would be guess work.

Ok. Have you had a dust collector hooked to it before?

No on a dust collector / 4" plumbing.
Yes, Shop vac through the OEM 4" port. Only the top port.

One option is to use a soda bottle as the end of the duct under the table. It can deform or even get cut when you tilt the table without a real problem, though it does sound horrendous as the blade cuts it.

To make tilting the blade quick and accurate, your saw may have the bolt used as a stop under the table. With the Delta style, you can make a series of bolts to swap out; when you adjust the tilt you simply loosen trunnions, put in the stop for the angle you want, push the table down to the stop and tighten the trunnions. I think this approach was described in John White's "Care and repair of shop machines".

Update: Bevel fence jig is almost finished, first test cut looks promising. Will post photos when the jig is more functional.

I had my first look inside the lower housing, after a month with the new Cosman DC setup. I can report significant improvement in dust collection with his plumbing method. There was very little dust to be found.
