   Turps -

   This might not work as well with a RAS but ....

   On a recent project the finish millwork guys built a shroud around the back of their sliding compound miter saws with a port in the back for the DC system. 'Twasn't much but a piece of thin plywood or whatever material you might be able to find that could be bent into a half cylinder shape big enough to wrap around behind the saw. They used what's called bending plywood, plywood that has the plies all running in the same direction so it's quite flexible. Would need some ribs top and bottom and probably mid ht or more.

   thanks, the bending ply is a great suggestion.

   I used a large airconditioning register box from Home Depot. It is something like 6"x12" and has a 7" round flange on the back that I reduced to 4" Cost maybe $12, and took no time. It catches 90 percent or more of the mess, considering my dust collector that is pretty good.
