A saw enclosure having a waterproof metal base pan, with integral receiver brackets for supporting enclosure frame work, and a built in shop-vac attachment port for using a vacuum to produce negative air pressure within enclosure; removing dust, moisture and particulate laden air. The saw enclosure framework assembly includes an electric control panel comprising of a switch controlled, duplex, GFCI outlet, for simultaneously energizing the saw and vacuum, and a continuously powered duplex outlet for powering a jig saw, grinder, drill, light, or any other electrical item. The enclosure, a seamed and fitted cover of flexible fabric or plastic, includes weights or magnets to ensure a tight fit at the base pan. All components disassemble quickly, and fit within base pan, which has a detachable cover for ease of transport. |

1. A portable saw enclosure, comprising:
A waterproof base pan, said base pan having a rectangular and substantially planar floor with four perimeter edges, and four side members, a respective one of said side members being attached at a respective said perimeter edge and to respective longitudinal ends of said side members to form a partial enclosure, said attachment at said longitudinal ends of said adjacent sides forming a respective corner connection, and a circular aperture in one of said side members configured to function as a vacuum hose attachment port; a first plurality of receiving brackets, a respective one of said first receiving brackets being connected at each corner connection of said waterproof base pan; and a second plurality of receiving brackets attached at an interior surface of two of said side members; a first plurality of substantially identical support frame sections, each said first frame sections having a first end and a second end and being substantially straight, the number of said first support frame sections being equal to two less than the total number of said first and said second plurality of receiving brackets, said first end of said first support frame sections being receivable in a respective one of said first or second receiving brackets; a second plurality of substantially identical support frame sections, said second support frame sections having a first, a second and a third portion, said second portion being between said first and said third portions, a first end of said second portion is connected to an end of said first portion by a first bend, and a second end of said second portion is connected to said third portion by a second bend, whereby when in the installed position, the respective second and third portions extend outside one of said perimeter edges of said base pan; a third plurality of substantially identical support frame sections, said third plurality of support frame sections being substantially U-shaped and having a center section having a first and second end and a respective longitudinal member connected at respective ones of said first and second ends and terminating in free distal ends; the free distal ends being connectable to respective second ends of opposing first support frame sections or opposing second frame sections by a respective plurality of couplers; a plurality of spreader bars being connectable to respective longitudinal ends of said third plurality of support frame sections, said spreader bars maintaining said third plurality of support frame sections in a fixed distance relative to each other in the installed position and being oriented substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said first support frame sections; an electrical control panel attached to one of said first and one of said second support frame sections; a plastic cover dimensioned to enclose said first, said second and said third plurality of support frame sections and said spreader beams, and a plurality of magnets attached to said cover for magnetically attaching said plastic cover to said base pan; whereby said base pan, said first, second and third plurality of support frame sections, said spreader bars and said plastic cover form said portable saw enclosure; whereby a totality of said first, said second and said third plurality of support frame sections and said spreader bars are sized so as to fit within said waterproof base pan when said saw enclosure is disassembled. |
