The less than detailed instructions for mounting the vertical pipe left me scratching my head. Especially mounting the hanger bar to the saw table. Fortunately there are several holes already on my cast iron table. I cut and mounted a 1 x 3 piece of plywood to the edge of the table, bolting it in place. Again, after scratching my head, I took the plywood piece off, drilled 2 more holes for the hanger bar, put 2, 1/4 x 20 flathead screws in from the back, then put nuts and flat washers on the outside and remounted the plywood to the saw.
The instructions for mounting the braces from the vertical pipe to the saw were equally head scratching. Having to bend the ends of each brace to match the angle to the saw was problematic. I finally decided to make a slight bend and allow the mounting bolts do the rest as they were tightened up. Finding a place to attach the braces to the saw was painful. My table fence mounts on brackets on the right side of the saw. I have a router mounted on the right side also. I had to mount the braces about perpendicular to the vertical pipe, parallel to the floor. The instructions show these brackets at about a 45° angle upward from the vertical pipe. In that configuration there is no support to keep the vertical pipe from moving in or out. Perpendicular to the pipe and parallel to the floor makes the pipe stay vertical with maximum support.
Equally frustrating was the length of the horizontal pipe structure. To keep the blade guard centered over the blade, the horizontal pipe stuck out a good 14" beyond the vertical pipe. A head knocker. I ended up sliding the horizontal pipe in towards the saw and marking a ring around the pipe about 14" from the outside end. With the aid of an air powered cutoff saw, I cut the 14" piece off. End result was the blade guard centered over the blade and the outside end of the pipe stuck out about 3-4", allowing me to connect my 2 1/2" hose from the dust collector to it.
As for mounting the blade guard assembly, no matter what I did, attaching the hose between the guard and the pipe caused the guard to cant to the left. I ended up slightly bending the bracket that the suspension unit mounts to the t-track assembly slightly clockwise. After reattaching everything the guard sat level with the saw table. Suction is quite good. Playing with the bolts that hold the suspension units arms, slightly loosening or tightening as I went and slightly adjusting the counter weight in or out made the unit function well. A piece of wood passes easily under the guard, however the guard does not drop back down by itself.
Overall I'm pleased with the unit even with all of the tweaks I had to make. Just be aware that the instructions are poor and modifications are necessary to make it safe and functional for your saw.
Although connected in the recommended fashion to the dust collector, in practice, dust exiting the blade continues to move primarily horizontally across the board towards the user - NOT sucked vertically into the collector. This is because the unit conflicts with either the fence or the miter gauge*, effectively preventing the unit from riding close to the surface. As I spend more time working with it, a better way to operate may become obvious, but at this point, the dust collection improvement isn't significant.
NOTE *: the unit can be horizontally adjusted which would change the relative position with the miter gaure/fence and allow lowering it to the wood's surface. Doing this might help improve the collection effectiveness, but adds a step to the process.
Regarding the shipping: the unit came poorly wrapped/packaged - taped and torn, and material barely contained within the box. Although the pieces were all there (except one hose clamp), some were scratched. Others have previously commented on this - with no apparent improvement by the mfr.
Regarding the construction: seems to be sturdy, easy to adjust the vertical movement; wouldn't pay more for one of the higher priced units if they are similarly effective. I have mine mounted to be able to swing away from the table, and it easily handles the movement without problem.
The 3-star rating is based on the limited additional collection perceived, and the poor shipping method.
Adding this over the top system has done a great job of keep the dust out of my guys faces, and off the table and floor. Very minimal clean-up now.

J'ai choisi l'option de le suspendre au plafond et raccoucir un tuyeau de 11 pouces car la shopsmith est très haute.
Je recommande de changer le boyeau en plastique. Il est vraiment trop rigide et fait pivoter le couvercle transparent...
Dans l'ensemble je suis très satisfaite.
