Can anyone comment on the ChopShop shroud, new from FastCap?
This white-smocked chop-saw posing for a fashion shoot would do justice to Annie Leibovitz. Haute couture is bringing a new sense of excitement to the workplace. Next will be long flowing shrouds in loden and cream wool, some accenting border pinks, and maybe some leather hoods in a hackneyed English hunting theme, all sporting elaborately feathered trim.
sorry, couldn't resist

Hmm - see the need for a new word.

I think that some of the guys over at JLC got them.
Look in the tool folder for the last couple of months.

A-holes. Hey every group has to have one. And I have been elected to be the one. I should make that my tagline.
Don't listen to Huck. I have never seen one before but I think it looks cool!

As bill said, there has been some talk about them over one JLC. I think it was the tool folder but could also be in the finish carpentry one too. I think one person actually has one and said that it works well and was worth the money.
Took a look at fastcaps site and didn't seem to find it. Maybe the jlclive's R&D.A great place for Information, Comraderie, and a sucker punch.

Here's the thread on the discussion. I think Kreg mentioned in another post that he needed to call fast cap and ask for it.http://forums.jlconline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38227
When I first saw them I thought they were gimicky, but I have read comments at JLC and here that they were worthwhile.
There are a lot of different brands available I saw at JLC Live in RI, but all seemed expensive. Some were hardshell instead of the convertible type top you show, and some have a light included or as option.
I like protecting the background from dust and flying chips. Good idea.
No, I don't have one yet. Waiting for prices to come down and more improvements like the lights to come into the picture.

Nice, keeps most of the dust confined.
Ordered it at JLC Live RI
Nice in therory I suppose but if you need this, it's likely that you have to vacuum at the end of the day anyway so why bother with the hood cause you're going to be firing up the shop vac either way. If I have to protect walls/windows from flying cutoffs, I'll stand up a piece of 1/4" luan plywood against the wall behind the saw.
My Makita has a fluorescent light on a flexible gooseneck mounted on top of the handle. After using it, I don't know how I ever lived without one.

Ahh! The Cranky Yankee returns with an alternative! Shocking!
The guy who brushes and doesn't spray. Who keeps his hand hatchet handy, and nails up those shingles rather than gun nails 'em. Weave your corners and trim with a trim router? Forgetaboutit. Use the knife and block plane. Electric guitar? No thanks, mine is a Martin D18.
Since your approach to a lot of tool questions is to forego the power and do it manually, I would like to suggest to you that to capture the dust from your chopsaw, you make one of your lower-cost guys get behind the saw while you are using it, squat down to the appropriate level, and open his mouth . . . real wide . . . no WIDER . . . that's it!
