Thanks for the idea on the xtream I just put one on order. It solves a number of problems for me and my setup. As far as testing goes my professional life is centered around product development and quality so I am "trained" to continually try new things looking for improvements. To me it is half the fun. With the dust shields the bag is not really helpful and will probably be removed eventually. It does help catch the chips which I put in brown lunch bags to use as fire starters in my woodstove. i also use the chips mixed with paraffin for firestarters. I don't like to waste much if I don't have to. I see this LOM as similar to the chop saw in that it is a sawdust monster with not too many good ideas of how to control it. Anything that forces chips down vs out/up is an improvement in my book. Either way I still wear a nice 3M dual canister mouth/nose filter whenever I run the LOM or in he past my sawmill/chainsaw mill.
