I purchased a dust collector for my Hercules sliding miter saw and can say with 100% assurance it works way better than the factory offering. Thanks for the efforts to improve dust management.

“Making 💩 just takes time”. Truer words have never been spoken. It’s a plus that your target customers are woodworkers who understand this concept lol. It takes a lot of designing and planning time for me to just to get a project to the point of going to the lumberyard. I can’t imagine planning and preparing for a scale as large as yours Travis.

Just ordered one for my DW715. I've been watching your experiments for a while. My own half-vast solution of Cheerios boxes, craft foam, hot melt glue and a lot of duck tape falls apart every couple of weeks. Your elegant solution is well worth the price.

I'm not much of a "shop" person (more of a coder type) but shop stuff is interesting. What makes me watch this channel is that this is really a Masters curriculum in business / operations / marketing / financial management for the modern high-tech small business entreprenuer. Very well thought out content.

Cool to see another maker has tackled the Dewalt miter saw dust collection problem. I started working on a solution about 4 years ago and got side tracked into other projects. Good job!

Got mine several months ago, installed and it works better than expected...Much thanks!

Mine came in two weeks ago and what difference it has made. It’s literally a day and night difference in my shop. My dewalt 780 was the last thing creating uncontrollable dust, but after your upgrade it’s like I barely notice it’s been running. Couldn’t thank you enough.

The one you're making for the 12" Makita. I need it for the 10" version please.

I’ve been waiting for this one to come out. I appreciate the time and effort you have done to work on these non-sliding saws. Placed an order today. Can’t wait to improve the quality of my work environment. Thank you sir! Also, as someone who spends every January making sausage, I appreciate the making sausage comment. My dad keeps his recipes in a notebook where nobody knows where it is.

Great job showing a glimpse behind the amount of work put into making something like this.

I bought one of your dust collection systems for the Bosch axial glide saw. Works great and quality is top notch.

One of my favorite KZfaqrs. Great content with just the right touch of humor. Keep it up!

I purchased one for my DeWalt. Easy to install. I'm thrilled with the results.

Absolute Master class on marketing, behind the scenes, and display of value. Some of the best content I have seen in a while to promote a service or product.

I ordered the dust collector for my DWS782 and it is awesome. Very little dust escaping compared to before. Thanks for your efforts to perfect the “OEM garbage “ dust collection 😆👌

RESPECT for what you do and appreciation for how you do it! Now all I need is your solution to my Hitachi C12RSH dust devil 😢

I can say this... I am absolutely 110% happy with the dust chute I ordered from you!!! Yes shipping took awhile and yes im not a patient man🤣 BUT... It made it way more exciting to open the box when it arrived..! Although it doesn't collect 100% of the dust I would have to say its damn close depending on the type of cut being made. I work with MDF alot & we all know how nastey the dust is from it. I now have a clean mitersaw station without clouds of dust being shot everywhere. Oh and the Shop Nation sticker included is a great touch. Made me smile.

WOW - just OMFG WOW!! You have become the new DYSON - MCLAREN - INVENTOR. well done you!! This is fantastic. What are you calling it? Don't call it after Dewalt or any other tool company - name it yourself !!! Remember Dyson may have started with Vacuums but he does lots of things now. even a pen!!!! If he called his first Vacuum after Hoover, where would he be for his fan or pen??????

I have been waiting for you to make one for the 715 since you started. I didn't even wait till the end the video to order this one. Can't wait to use it.

Thanks for creating these. I ordered one yesterday as soon as I got your email saying they are ready. And yes, it's hard to be patient when like today I was out in the beautiful weather creating loads of sawdust.

I have been on your waitlist for this one. Can’t wait and appreciate your efforts!

I wish I had seen this earlier. I just spent the last day or two designing, making, redesigning, and remaking a dust chute from the usual carboard and duct tape. Mine works great as long as I don't want to bevel cut. So I ordered yours with the 2 hose adapters.

received my Shop Nation dust collection unit for the DeWalt 778 a few weeks ago AND... Awesome! k.jones

I can appreciate what goes on behind the scenes, having designed and produced a high tech electronic product for a niche industry. Congratulations! I look forward to using your dust collector!

Dude, you've really elevated the production values & quality of your vids. They look great.

You are the best, I have always enjoyed Shop Nation, thank you.

I bought the SN adapter for my BOSCH mitre saw un real difference in dust collection.Make sure you have a decent dust collection method. Thanks SN!!!!

I've been waiting for this, just purchased one, thank you! Can't wait to test it out.

Should look into using CPAP hoses instead, they're smooth inside and flexible. Just better, less turbulent airflow. Makes for better suction 😊

I bought one for my DeWalt sliding compound mitre saw and I have to say that it works wonderfully. If you are considering one, do it and you will not be sorry.

I bought one of your gadgets for my Dewalt saw. It fit funny and contacted the blade. Just drilled one mounting hole a tad larger and that thing works great! I’d bet 97 maybe 98% of dust collected. Thank you.

Ironically I was talking to someone on a FB group 2 days ago about this EXACT thing! Her comment was that you didn’t have a unit for a DeWalt. I then showed her my cardboard. Packing tape, yards price tag, PVC, and painter’s tape masterpiece (we will discuss how and when you got into my shop to pilfer my IP later, I mean, all ya had to do was ask) So now I will tell her that through the power of her positive thinking, or extreme whining, that you have “just whipped one up” and she can dash over and pick one out for her very own. But only after I get one first - your color choices are so much nicer than mine, I simply MUST have one! Thank you !!!!

Wow how inspiring you are. Really admire your problem solving abilities, grit and engineering skills. God bless you. Will be ordering for my Bosch miter saw. 👍🙏

Interesting to see a bit more of the product launch process. Now to patiently await the launch of the Makita LS1219L version.

Tha amount of effort and planning you put into these and 2 days in I still haven’t gone to the garage to confirm my saw model before ordering one. Definitely going to get one just need to pause one of the 4 times a day I walk by my miter saw.

Since you are making these dust collector options. One very cool idea would be to make a zero clearance plate that closes off the underside portion of the zero clearance plate so dust doesn't collect underneath the saw and improves dust collection even more. And then you can make it a package deal on your site with these attachments. Like figure out how deep the saw blade plunges into the base. Create an enclosure under that has some kind of vent that will direct the dust right back into your dust collector attachment. I'm already a fan of the 780 version.. I bought 2 for my shop. If you ever get to the Milwaukee 7.25" miter saw I would personally buy another dust collector attachment from you.

Lots of planning and prep work to create a product from scratch for sure. I need to check your line to see if you have one that will fit my Bosch 12 inch slider, which I think would be a great help for it

Ordered it the moment it became available and I can't wait to get it on my saw!

Congratz on your venture - much luck to you!

Thanks for this insight! Great content man.

Hope all the work pays off. Just imagine if you had gone down the road of magnetic ratchet, socket, wrench, organization! Infinite sizes, colors types etc. (quality out there is all over the map too). Keep up the shop greatness standard.

Love your channel, and purchased a dust collector for my Hercules miter saw ... it works great!!!

Just ordered mine, thanks!

The crazy thing is with these new Miter saws is my 22 year old 10" saw is fantastic with dust collection. The bag is meh, but with a shop vac connected the only dust produced is large chips ejected forward.

Moooooooom!!! Travis made a beer bong!!!

One trade off here is that you have to remove the dust collection add on to be able to remove the blade. So factor that extra time in when choosing this type of product, worth it for me but not advertised!!!

Wow! This was an unexpectedly informative experience. Ironically, I just put a DW715 in my Amazon shopping cart last night.

what a production bro ... both content and product ... noice to see ... shoutout from Brazil

On a sliding miter saw, it makes sense for the dust collection to be on the arm to follow the blade, but on a non sliding how well would it work having the dust collection on the base aiming up at the saw? Maybe still have a small shield on the arm to prevent the saw dust from shooting up and over the back of the saw. I wonder if it would eliminate some of the dust that makes its way under the saw. I may have to mock up one and see how it works

I just installed the dust collector on my DWS715 and it works excellent! You said it doesn't collect it all but for me I think it gets 99% of it. I always had sawdust out the side but this has stopped that cold. Thank you for a product that actually works.

WoW Proud of you, wish i felt better and had that kind of energy.

Planning to buy the Bosch 12 device. Love to see one made for my old DW708. Hooking a vac to its bag port does almost nothing.

As someone who spent years involved in initially the design and prototyping of computers and consumer electronics, and then in the manufacturing of said products… Amen brother!

How about design for Ryobi? Many backyard hobbyist use these saw.

This thing is awesome. It works!!!

Hey Travis, I recently purchased the DWS779/780 dust collection system. If this works nearly as well as the one I purchased, then it will be another winner and make a lot of people happy. Keep up the greatness!

Great content, keep up the good work !!!

I do not have my miter saw purchased or selected yet, but when I do you can bet I will buy a dust collection adapter from Shop Nation's selection.

I broke the dist collection on my Ryobi and your shop is the first place I went for a new one. Unfortunately I did not see a Ryobi offering.

Thanks for sharing your journey. I am currently studying digigal fabrication and can honestly say I look at what you do as an inspiration for what to create and what the true process takes. Love the content and keep it up!

I’ve bought It for the dewalt. Fantastic product.

It would be interesting to see one of you commentary videos about product development while there are already other products established. How does that work get scheduled? Whats the impact in design time? Is it easier mentally to do a new product with income coming in?

I wonder if redesigning the blade guard and integrating dust collection into that would be another improvement. Similar to a table saw blade guard hood with dust collection. Travis, I challenge thee to experiment.

hope to have an indoor shop someday it sucks workin on projects out in the cold MN winters

1:30 I know people want to steal your design and that’s why you don’t want to show us. But honestly, the terrible people/companies that are going to do that will most likely buy 1 of each of your finished flushed out products, scan/measure and reprint. So you might as well just show us. But I get why you didn’t, so no worries. I plan on buying one for my dad’s DeWalt if it’s one you’ve done, and the Bosch you started with. He owns both those saws and secretly I’m hoping to acquire them from him, lol. He’s getting old and won’t be needing them soon.

Question - will this fit the older DW708 miter saws? Currently I'm using a trash bag duct taped to the unit which at least lets the dust fall to the floor.

I bought the one for my delta cruder and absolutely love it! If you need testers let me know 😉

Oh the gripping nostalgia of Dewalt tools…I remember when I was a beginner

Do you Chute for DW705 available?

I got your dust attachment for the DeWalt DW735, love it. Can I maybe suggest a new journey to design? Lathe dust control, maybe starting at the midi-lathe sized (14x20ish) dust collection. Many have tried, all have failed. Rockler has the "best" option on the market and it is subpar but better tha nothing. I happily volunteer myself as a test subject for a journey to create useful dust collection for lathes. Yes, it would help with wood but with hybrid and resin turning especially.

Got a Makita 10" DXT that badly needs this!

Fantastic video! Question about this design - at 7:54 in the “before” shot, you can see the small cut piece fly off unobstructed behind the saw, and at 7:58 in the “after” it gets sorta jammed up by the new dust hood. Could it be a safety concern that there’s now no clear ejection path for small cut fragments to disperse? Or even if not safety, they could bounce back, get under the blade and mess up your current cut, cause quality issues, etc?

I have one of these, I bought it to cut through my foundation cause it fit a 12 inch blade, kinda crazy I was able to cut a 2x3ft hole in my foundation with it.

Seems like a good product, but I noticed that there’s still sawdust that gets out. Which makes me wonder, could you make a table that deals with this? Like sort of the inverse of an air hockey table? Maybe an air hockey table would do it. But anyway,what if your table had holes in it and then under the table there was negative air pressure not quite as strong as a vacuum that would pull the sawdust down underneath and then collect it?

Any market for doing one for a DW708? I'd be happy to buy one and do any fitment testing you need.

Love that the before picture is with the factory's dust collection already removed...because I'm guessing you threw it away after your first prototype worked. Anyway, it doesn't do that much better than what you showed, so we're good. Gotta go see if you have something for a Hitachi sliding miter....

I’m now tempted to change my Metabo Miter Saw for a DeWalt one so I can use your dust collector 🥴

I like the idea and the concept, only issue is price. Its a bit overpriced for me, but I understand why it's priced that way. I wish you success, and I always love to support small businesses over amazon as much as I can.

I don't have a Dewalt miter saw, but I wish I had one of these for my Skil (was from my father).

Hey Travis. Love your content. I wonder if you have any feedback from users of your dust collection enhancements when used along with zero clearance fence/throat plate modifications. I have recently added zero clearance mods to my DW715 and now I find that the dust does not make it to the back of the saw where even the subpar factory collection system could extract the dust.

I have all these same issue but for my Soap business. lol. Great video. One thing what do you do with the printers you no longer use or swap out?

Nice work. Hope you sell a lot. I wish you made one for my cheap 10" Ryobi sa.

Again awesome video, design, and updates. Still hoping you’ll be able to make one for the DW706 which is a dual bevel 12”.

I see you're working on a dust collection chute for the Metabo 12" saw, any idea if it will fit the 10" model? I have the C10FSHC and it looks very similar to the C12RSH2 you're listing on the website. I would be happy to test it!!

I have DW705 also, I saw that someone else in the comments has one too. Will the DW715 version work for the DW705? Thanks!

Hey Travis. great video. In your video you had a picture of the plywood cart (5:19 on video), but I can't find plans for it in your shop. Do you still sell the plans for that?

Don't forget about us Ryobi Rats. They make dust too.

Focus group testing should go before mass manufacture in case theres basic changes that need to be made to the design.

Like your 16x12 Camphouse, do you ever plan on doing any smaller building plans in the 12x8 range, like a Coop? I plan on milling rough cut lumber so it would be cool if it had some detail like your Camphouse, just curious. Great channel just found it

i would love a podcast of you and slant 3d just talking print farm stuff.

Very interesting video! Hoping that you sell a ton of these!❤

I wonder, over a fair time period, how much it would cost to go through a plastic injection shop to make you a bunch. Of course the tooling would be quite pricey but the throughput with that is far quicker than 3d printers.

And the Makita DXT with the rear rails.

A couple of days ago I received the dust collection chute for my DWS715. I just installed it and it's really great. The product is very well designed and very well built. The instruction video makes installation very easy and straightforward. And the sample cuts I just did resulted in very little stray dust. This is such a great thing for my shop. Thanks so much!

I have a DCS361B that I would love that for ❤

Love the content and products you’re putting out! Just curious, if you’re going to be releasing your yearly channel revenue breakdown video?

The problem is people keep buying crappy miter saws like Dewalt and Milwaukee for starters. Just buy a proper one like Festool or Makita with a adequate dust extractor . Using the standard bag on the mitre saw just causes saw dust everywhere even if you have a kapex. The price of a kapex is cheaper than the price of new lungs. Plus medical cost.

if it takes off, you'll have the joy of making a video about getting injection moulds made, then releasing plans for hydraulic injection moulding machines, it'll be enough to make you frown, and us giggle. btw, don't farm the manufacturing out or there will be knockoffs EVERYWHERE.

not in the market for this but liked your video about the process! like you said, Making shit takes time!

great run-through
