I did this twenty years ago with the same saw. The open back can be mostly made dust proof by using thick visquine and grey ducttape. Just cut a slot for the belt and leave enough bag so the tilt won't tear it off. Your shop vac or dust collector will create more than enough draw to keep ALL dust inside. Also, I sprayed expanding foam under the edges of the cabinet where the table sits on top. I'm still using that same saw today, having changed the visquine a couple times, but it's easy. The down draft though the saw slot is strong and very little gets on the table.
Nice job on the dust port. I just upgraded my dust collector to the Oneida Mini Gorilla. It works out very well for me and my small one man shop. Take a look at it before making your dust collector decision.
Similar to Joshua I was going to recommend dowel for the alignment. Another tip using the hole saw on a drill press is how it’s attached. Instead of the hole saw screwing on and pushing the bit collar into the hole I tighten the hole saw all the way to the bit holder surface. That way it won’t rock. Nice project. Thanks for sharing
Using the CNC to drill holes in the same spot on all the layers and putting a dowel that fits would have saved you a lot of time with alignment. Also to save on the blue tape you can also use shelf liner just make sure its matte and not gloss for the 2P10 to stick.
I've owned one of those 9" saws since college [48 years]. Just last month, I attached a bottom port from Rockler. Here's a picture: www.bighorncorp.com/big-horn-11103-12-12-inch-hood Now it doesn't look a cool as yours and yours is *really cool* looking, but I expect it works as well. That being said, dust collection is poor. The open back of the saw is the problem. I'm working on a design for that, but it is not straight forward. Hope your setup sucks [dust] better than mine.

I have one too, with the jointer and drill press attachment. Disk sander and saber saw
Looks amazing. Much better than closing in the bottom.
Cool vintage saw! Fits right in with the cars/hot rods!

Really cool video dude. Very polished and well presented. Love the background music.

Close in the back of the saw as much as possible around the belt. The Shop Vac should then be able to create a vacuum.
Really enjoy your videos bro! Keep’em coming
Hey that looks just like the one I got from my uncle who built all his furniture back in the 40s and 50s.
Great show , love the flat head in the back ground,try not to get dust in what looks like stromberg carbs
Is that a Delta 34-500?

Joshua Russell I was going to add the same dowel idea.
My saw like yours but my moter is on the bottom not the back
I use printer quoins for work holding
Hot glue may be easier to use
