   Short of a full-up dedicated DC, the shop-vac approach is my preferred method. A vac such as a Fein with auto start is ideal, although not cheap. Alternatively, they make shrouds that mount behind the miter saw and the shroud is hooked to a DC or shop vac. HTH

   Like ChuckKiser said - A shop vac is quick and easy. But it will probably only catch about half the stuff.

   A dust collector and a hood might catch more. But I've never tried it, so I'm not sure.

   The best dust collection method is probably just to set the thing up outside.

   Rousseau makes a hood,

   but it is pretty expensive and it is bulky,  which is the biggest downer.  I vote for outside too.  or make sure you are not sawing against something that readily takes a static charge. 

   Like a plastic whitewater kayak for instance,  but what would I know. 

   Not that I have a kayak filled with sawdust in my garage.
