just watched this, a bit late after your post. just wanted to say ' great analysis and problem description' .

I don't know how to thank you enough for this genius solution! I just took the duct tape and in less than 5 minutes did this amazing modification to my Evolution miter saw. Man it makes so much difference! Like over 90% of saw dust is getting perfectly collected by my vac. No tools needed, just a few pieces of duct tape. Simple and extremely effective. Thank you so much!!!

I just watched this then walked into my shop, took the dust shroud box off and added the duct tape and it works great! And now more light gets to the work area!

Miter Saw Dust Control Is One Of The Most Challenging Power Tools To Harness! There Are So Many Frustrated Woodworkers That Are Now Bald Due To Pulling Their Hair Out While trying to Accomplish This! BUT! You Did It! Hat's Off To You! I Just Purchased A New DeWALT Miter Saw And Wow! Cut A Piece Of Wood & Dust Everywhere! I Will Make That Very Expensive Duct Tape Traditional Cesta Shaped Dust Collection Device! Thanks'

My dude I LOVE this hahahaha. This is so simple and direct. I can’t wait to do this tomorrow!! Thanks man. So many other people tried to recreate the wheel with shop vacs and crazy things but this is so simple it’s perfect

Long video for short solution! More close up of the tape extension would helpful. Thank you!

Jeff Foxworthy would be proud! Great idea!!

BRILLIANT! This is the best I've been able to come up with too, but your's is more sleek. Mine was too long and got in the way. Well DONE!

Excellent simple solution. Thanks.

Fantastic! Great job buddy, I’m definitely going to be giving this a go!

Very helpful. Thank you.

I was going to try this but had no idea how much 50p was, so I almost gave up on it. Seriously though, I thought of doing the same thing, as most of the collector videos only work for 90° cuts, and they appear overly complicated for the task at hand. I was also thinking of adding a semi-flexible curtain to either side of the blade guard to really channel the airflow into the funnel. I'll post back on how it works when I try that add-on. Thanks for reminding us that simpler can be better. Cheers from the US!

Just tried this - worked a treat!

Brilliant idea! This might have additional options if inside of the tape one attached a layer of thin aluminum flashing. This flashing would be bendable and allow the shroud to maintain a shape. A thin layer of plastic or card stock may have a similar result, but the aluminum would hold a shape whereas those other materials wouldn't do that nearly as well. Thanks for sharing your design!

Love this video!

Slick trick buds!

I have not seen this before. Very clever!

Quite randomly I did the same thing when we were on a site last year, I then took the idea and tried rolling out a rubber or polythene version but they didnt work as well as the duct tape version, i think because you can manipulate the duct tape to hold a shape a little better. In prolonged use Ive knicked the duct table a little bit, it doesnt get caught in the blade, I find a careful technique helps and slowing cutting slightly improves effectiveness. I wish I could mount it a little better to my makita but as it comes off its a case of wiping the dust off and reduct taping it. Its by far the best improvement and everyone should do it... Great Video!

This was very timely for me as I'm setting up my mitre saw and have been disappointed at how much dust is still generated even with a dust collector. I plan on fabricating something like what you've done but using 1/16" polyurethane which will have a similar flexibility but a bit more firmness (and I have some already). Thanks for a great idea.

Great idea i will try thnaks Nuno

Awesome hack

This is brilliant! Very original

Excellent video and great process

I appreciate your thinking process

Amazing...thank`s for that cheep hack...☺👍

Kudos for the idea/solution❤, but that video should be 2 min long max😢

This is why most contractors carry their saws to the job site and set them up outside on a patio or the ground. A cheap, large fan behind the operator will blow the dust away from the face.

First class, thanks

Looking good.. it’s clear the saw designer isn’t a woodworker 👍🏻

The blade opening beneath the wood is a big part of the problem. When the blade cuts through,,,,,, the dust shoots under the wood and comes out behind the rails But the vaccum is out past the rails. That's something I intend to do, rigging dust collection inside the blade track

how did you attach the tape to the stock vac tube. I have a Sheppach slidimg mitre. It is held on by two small screws but little else and there is nowhere to put the duct tape too. I have tried making mock ups using cardboard but had very little success. ANy advice would be really apreciated.

Great solution. I think I'll try making up my scoop out of 1 gallon milk jug plastic and use duct tape for attaching it.

Great tip, wondering if some type of plastic or rubber would be more sturdy, but concept is great Just curious how it would do without the vacuum

Dude this was exactly what I did today with my miter saw! Nice video btw

You should look into protecting this idea.

Doesnt it block the laser line ??

Also this is like the design Bosch have on their saws.

Great idea but it makes the laser useless

It really starts at 2:14

Thanks, it would help if you focused the camera down where you fitted the tape rather than looking at your face tbh.

I'll definitely look into this on my -non sliding mitre saw.. Thanks.. We all know the problems of dust.. jump to around 10:00 mins for the solution

Good video but why are you whispering? Never go full Biden

I just got the same Evolution model of mitre saw. A simple sketch of dimensions of the tape boot could help a lot, avoiding trial and error for those with same model. Great idea though!
