Another of my 'no big deal' projects.
I was getting tired of picking up the little bits that fall on the floor when I cut something with the 4x6 band saw. Murphy insures they then bounce under the saw. That, along with having to vacuum all of the chips that were falling on the items on the shelf directly below the saw blade prompted me to implement something I had seen elsewhere on the web.
Obviously a sheet rock mud tray, a little weather stripping to fill the gap between the tray and the saw table, some wing nuts and more or less the problem is solved.
