    The only way to truly contain those nasty chips is to put a tent over it! lol

    In fact, I did something similar. I have an Evolution saw and use it outside only because my metal shop shares duty with 3 of my antique cars. A few times it was raining and I REALLY needed to use it so I put a small tarp over it just as I pulled the trigger and made the cut. It did the job! No old Chevy's harmed and I got the metal cut.

    I was thinking of maybe putting something together more permanent and made of clear vinyl or plastic. Just another idea I have floating around in my head...

    Very useful for cutting multiple small parts! Did mine a little while back. Should probably be part of these saws.
