Any idea what this dust port belongs to?

I bought a used Mark V with a bandsaw (on a power stand) and this piece came in a box with everything else. I have no idea what it is or where it goes. Any ideas?

Since you provided no photos that I can view, I'm going to guess it's a dust port upgrade that hasn't been installed on your band saw yet. If it has a flang with 4 holes, one in each corner and a 45 degree elbow on the discharge part, that's what it might be. If so, you cut a hole on the removable cover just below the table and bolt it on.

I'm trying to post a pic, but it's not allowing me to. Is there a specific number of posts you need to hit to post?

If this is anything like another forum I belong to then I have to hit a few more posts before I'm allowed to upload anything. I'll try that and see if it unlocks.

It looks to be part of the lower saw guard.

Yes! I found it:

I've got the 510 saw guard so I've got no use for this piece now.

Please do not pitch it. Somebody here may need it!
If not, I will pay postage.
