There are no screw holes on this one, but there is a small lip around the edge. Although I believe you could make a frame to hold it, the lip around the edge is quite small.
In a very loose sense

On my Dewalt miter saw, I used it as a second dust collector. As a dust collector, I used a shop vacuum with a shop vacuum hose running between the two. The hose ends and this have the same diameter, so I joined them with a rubber connect from Lowe's with hose clamps on the ends. It's a nice small hood that fits snugly against the saw's back corner, near the blade's cutting edge.
It's a little smaller than I expected, and it won't fit in a standard vacuum cleaner without some additional support. I was let down. It will eventually find a home, but not right now.
It's being used to clear some dust from my chop saw. It's a chop saw, for those of you who aren't familiar with the term. So the area is still dusty, but at least now I have somewhere to sweep the dust to send it to the collector when I'm done.
Although this is a sturdy product, it does require an adapter to connect to a standard shop vac hose.
In my buffer dust collection station, I used two of these. Use 2 if you can. Dust collection hose with a diameter of 1/2" Because shop vac hoses are not all the same diameter, some adjustments are required.
It appears to be of high quality. I'm not sure what else to say. It accomplishes the task at hand.
This was a little smaller than I had anticipated, but it still works well. It had been properly advertised. It was purchased to collect sawdust from my benchtop belt sander, which it does admirably.
It served its purpose.
