Watched this yesterday and went to the shop and made a similar box for my Dewalt miter saw. It took a little while to figure out how to make it all work, but when finished, it worked beautifully. It captures nearly all of the saw dust. I had to remove the worthless dust collection tube to make room for the box. Thanks for the idea and inspiration.

I bought this mitre saw in June 2014, and I remodeled my basement with it. It it sturdy and it works great kzfaq.infoUgkxKL3MYO42eA2JbKxs7_Q0tmRGZI4Ow4Ar . There's not a lot of extra play in the adjustments and it is definitely well built. It is lighter than higher-end sliding double bevel models, so I can move it myself, which is nice. When I had to cut 2x10 lumber, I had to flip the boards over and cut twice; but since most of my cutting was on smaller dimension lumber, the weight reduction and significantly lower price seemed to be a better trade off for the boards I did have to flip. Late in the project, I was able to borrow a DW718, and the sliding feature does make fast work of 2x10s, but it is a tank, and I stand by my choice of the DW715. I also added a laser guide (one of the arbor replacement style sold on Amazon), which is nice to have, but definitely not needed.

This project has now moved to the head of the line. From the day I unboxed my saw several years ago all I ever think about when I look at it is how to contain the mess. I can live with 98% efficiency. Or even 90%! And I'll never think about a hood design ever again. Thanks for your innovation.

Is a solution for one type of cut: small piece of wood cut to 90 degrees. Lots of similar solutions that wouldn’t work for me…or any cabinet shop.

@LinhBui-hb8oz 6 күн бұрын

My thought as well. Or, for a really next level design, make a top layer with the blade slit that rotates to expose the blade slit at any arbitrary angle. The rotation mechanism should be similar to a basic school-kid protractor. Someone very clever can probably even make the angle sync with the saw angle so there's no fiddling to match the two.

I love this video because I have the exact same saw and jigsaw that you have so I am going to attempt to make this. One drawback is that I tried to cut some metal one time helping my son and I broke a little piece off of that initial dust chute so will have to improvise there a bit

Maybe the best one I’ve seen for straight cuts. I have a Bosch and do a lot of angle and bevel cuts. I found that the best overall collection method is to use the factory hose connector and attach a flexible cowl at the dust intake to channel the dust. It drags a little over the cut piece as the cut is made, but always stays behind the blade. No changes have to be made when switching from straight cuts. It’s about 95% effective.

Nice video! Looks like you have a newer version of the miter saw that I have (clean and no rust). I might have to build one of those for my miter saw.. I do have an idea for angle and bevel cuts.. Since the box you built is flush with the metal fence on the saw, why not try a sacrificial fence? If it's a specific cut you do frequently, save it for future use.

Thank you! I just built a variation of this for my 23-year-old Ryobi miter saw and the results are indeed incredible; virtually no dust to be seen, breathed in, or vacuumed later. I found a contour gauge to be very helpful in laying out the cutouts for where the dust suction box meets the rear of the fence. Thank you for sharing your fix to an ages-old problem.

I set up a woodshop during the pandemic and the miter saw was the biggest problem with dust going every where. Searching U tube I saw all kinds of big elaborite catch all designs that the dust just went into but no collection system. None looked like very good options so I kept looking until I saw your video. I made one based on your design and it works great. I use my table saw for all angle cuts anyway since it gives a much better result so your design is just what I needed. Thank you for your help. You also are easy to listen to and the smile makes your video much better than most.

Solved indeed! This is perfect! Thank you so very much for sharing. You put into action what I was thinking. There had to be a better way for dust collection. Stock bags do collect, but no where near enough to be beneficial, (like 20%). You'd think these companies would actually use their tools they create to make sure dust is minimal. What you created I see is probably 98 or 99% effective. Sooooo awesome! Thanks again. Made some notes and will make something like this very very soon.

Try a couple pieces of flexible rubber to extend each side of the stock dust chute down closer to the blade. You might find that improves overall dust collection while allowing at least some degree of miter/compound miter movement of the saw. Anything is something on these saws, especially in a shop setting. Nice project.

I just bought my 1st miter saw &I don't want to use it until there is some kind of dust collection for behind the blade. I don't have a sophisticated dust collection system at all & I don't have a fancy work bench. I am a crafter not a builder & have converted an old sewing cabinet that rolls to be a saw stand. So I'm going to try this with s smaller shop vac that I'm going to mount inside the cabinet & can roll out of the way. The idea is a really good one. As a newbie, I just hope I can do it :)

@timmahan4123 Жыл бұрын

This was a good start for the dust collection. The reason that you do not collect 100 percent of the dust is due to the venting on the bottom of the saw. I believe a better solution would be to make a dust collection base. With a collection base, you would be able to collect the overspray from behind the blade as well as from the bottom saw vents. This would also allow you to remove the box from behind the blade and collect from all of your cuts including the miters.

@greggmiller6623 3 ай бұрын

Great idea if you only do 90 degree cuts. I'd like to what you come up with to minimize dust for angled cuts on both sides of center or if you have to do crown moulding corner cuts. I use a 10" DeWalt double bevel miter saw (not a slider), and a Fastcap Chop Shop Chopsaw Hood. Even though I need to clean it out occasionally, it traps a good 95% of the saw dust from a combination of cuts.
