I bought a Skilsaw Southpaw Sidewinder Circular Saw, SPT67M8-01. The saw does not have a dust port and I would like to be able to use it indoors during the winter months. It’s a great saw but throws quite a bit of dust. Any ideas on dust collection? Thank You.

Engineered-stone shower panels are waterproof, but proper installation relies on tight seams and silicone sealing.

I just sweep it up and store in a bucket to mix with wood glue for rough hole filling later.
Most American circ saws aren't set up for dust collection. Spend some serious coin on a Festool or Bosch track saw and there's a integral dust collection that works very well. Otherwise, have a helper hold a vacuum nozzle next to the dust port on the guard and accept that it won't be perfect.
Try the Wen track saw. Not as expensive as the Festool/Bosch/Makita but pretty good for the price.
