I recently bought a new miter saw (Bosch Axial Glide) and have been a little disappointed with the dust collection that it had. It was still vastly superior to the stock dust collection I've experienced on other saws, but I guess I was just hoping for more. I decided to perform an experiment and compare 3 common solutions to the problem followed up with my own custom designed dust shroud. In this video you get to see just how effective each solution is at capturing dust as well as whether or not my creation is any better. It's a fun little experiment that has some surprising results!
A refreshingly nice video with humor and excellent videography! Thank you. :)

Exactly, just discovered thus channel today, quite humorous yet tons of really good stuff
Loved it - "instantly make my mistakes permanent" great 🤣🤣🤣
Yes!! lol
"i borrowed a scale from my neighbours meth lab" literally dying! i breathed in a mouthfull of pepsi xD
...I spewed my Coors light across the table.
At least you only " breathed in your Pepsi", instead of having "snorted your Coke".
love it!
he clearly didn't teach you about grams. . . js and for me, it was the end of my coffee, stuff is difficult to get off the keyboard. . .
I spewed coffee on my computer screen and the glasses I was wearing!
Dude, this is a great solution for 90 degrees! Well done!
Thanks Brad! 😀
@@FishersShop what about angles?

@@christianscustoms6429 sorry I don't know why I ever wrote the comment
It’s 9:40pm on Saturday night. I’m watching a guy weigh sawdust on KZhead.
The realization just hit me! ;)
Are you his neighbor? Did he bring back your scale?
@@impactajuvenile 🤣🤣🤣
Dude! Me too!
What else can you do during quarantine? I've watched the entire Big Bang Theory series 10 times.
Gluing it to the saw was inspired. Thanks for the outtakes and the embedded humour and the final result. Great stuff.
P l
The bloopers at the end are just hilarious! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you like them!
I love the out takes. It’s so “true to life!”
Man I've seen some huge dust collection cabinets that almost fully enclose the back half of the saw. Really only good for a permanent mount and a non portable saw. In any case, the difference in massive amounts of material and time would only serve to close that 4% gap in collection. Your little doodad takes the cake. Simple, cheap, removable, and it allows the saw to remain portable. Nicely finnessed solution buddy. Good on Ya!
You got it exactly Stephan! Thanks!
Great idea and solid outcome. Thank You for the videos and your commentary is awesome.
Love the out takes at the end, thought I was looking in a mirror!
Enjoyed the presentation. Showed several solutions and how they stacked up against one another without becoming rocket science. LOVED the humor!!
As a retired mechanical tech, I love the weighing test. Best way to evaluate your different configurations.
"instantly make all my mistakes permanent"... that and the Turretts episode at the end reveals a kindred spirit. New Sub!
I like your videos a lot. I know this is an old one. I almost gave up on your experiment until the very end when you found the ratio between the dust and whole wood segment. Science!
LOL - such a smooth presentation...Then there's that bit at the end that reminds me more of what I sound like during my least proud moments. Cool experiment. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Exactly my problem. Same saw, sam dust problem. Thx for the idea 👍🏻
Your videos, your craftsmanship, and your sense of humor are terrific!
Thanks so much. :)
the subtle humor and outtakes at the end earned a subscribe
Welcome
Two Thumbs Up. One for the video solution and one for the out takes.
Just watched this video again. I have to say, my wife and I both really enjoy your sense of humor! It’s good to get reminded every so often that we need to keep things in perspective. For my part, I’m still trying to get organized, the workshop was too small, moved into the garage and it is currently overflowing with too much “stuff”, tools, stands, cabinets, benches, tables, etc. And of course, trying to get better dust collection, more wood storage, properly aligned tools that will cut square, or straight. I know, don’t blame the tool. But seriously, some tools are ridiculously difficult to align. And they refuse to stay aligned. Ah well, as the saying goes, it keeps me off the street corner. Perspective! We have to be able to laugh at ourselves. When we lose that, we’re in serious trouble. God bless, take of yourselves, stay safe!
Thanks, Joe! Glad you're liking the vids
Absolutely - perfect combination of information and (really clever) entertaining dialog. Well done!
"Just glued to the saw". Priceless
Drew is the best at humor AND good advice. Other channels you only get one or the other, never both.
A woodworker with a sense of humour doing a scientific project. Well done mate. Now I know I'm not alone....
My thoughts too John, there are some more woodwork and tool nerds!
Love the build, love the humor, love the outtakes. Perfect :)
Nice to see a mitersaw dust collection scheme that actually works well. Always enjoyable banter too. Thanks!!
Your videos are always educational, enjoyable and entertaining. I can see myself in all of your "out takes!" Thanks for all you do for all of us!
Thanks, Frank!
Love the outtakes. It’s like you’re channeling me.
GREAT project Drew. I especially like the fact that it is so small and out of the way but VERY EFFECTIVE! !! !!!
Great video. Love the humor and just exactly what we are all thinking in the shop at all times
Great work, smart thinking. Best idea I've seen space wise, I like it forsure...
While watching, I was like, "He's lucky he isn't gluing that box to the table of the mitre saw." And then came the out-takes! 😂
I thought, "I'd have glued it to the saw if I tried that." Glad I'm not alone
Love the bloopers the end. Wish more people showed them.
Thanks for including the outtakes! Makes me feel far less silly for all the gaffs I make during any build or project.
Great vids. Love the outtakes. Glad to see others have some of my days
LOL! "Instantly male all my mistakespermanent"!!! I enjoy your projects and your dry sense of humor.
Hehe, thanks Kevin
I like his "borrowed the neighbors scale from their meth lab" bit
LOVE your straight faced humor and how you emphasize your mistakes! Reminds us all that we're not the only ones who have an oops moment...... Oh yea, lotta good info too, thanks!
OMG thank you for the out-takes at the end of the video. Gluing the attachment to your miter saw made my day. Its good to know that I am not the only one whose projects don't always go smoothly. Cheers ! :)
I really enjoy the bloopers...we all make them, and they all sound the same! :)
I just upgraded to the same model Bosch a few months ago. Love it and I might try your dust boot to see if I can screw it up more than I have with my failed attempts at different ones.👍🏼
has to be one of the most entertaining wood channels on YT. Giving Shaun Boyd a run for his money - bravo!
What fun! In addition to being funny, this video has the potential of saving a lot of clean-up time around my mitre saw. Many thanks Mr. Fisher. You’re good.
OMG thanks for bloopers. As soon as I saw "glued it to the saw" I LOL pretty hard. Thanks for sharing your pain. As somebody who had been testing a lot of solutions, I'd love to see your take on bandsaw dust collection. They may be more unruly than miters.
Nice job! Loved the bloopers - I totally would have glued it to my saw too!!
very good idea! 😀👍 greetings from the Oberbergischen from Germany ! Chris
I like the science side of this and the outtakes make me realize I’m not the only one. Thanks so much, very helpful!
I came here for the woodworking, and I am staying for the jokes. Love your sense of humor. 👍😜
Loved the last outtake. Watching you using the CA glue throughout this video I kept thinking "What skill this man has because I would have surely glued pieces to my saw doing it that way". Haha, I was right!!!!
making me lmao like a baby after 76 years makes my woodworking go much much smoother, thanks for sharing
I got one of these saws(used) over the weekend. Once I repair the tilt lever your dust collection will be my first modification to it. Thank you for your videos. Very informative and entertaining.
3:50 “Using a square I can hold things at 90° and then I hit it with some activator to instantly make all my mistakes permanent” 5:30 “. . . and then proceeded to get glue all over my table saw” 6:18 “ . . . and then after several years of filing I was able to turn that circle into an oval“ Lol 😂
This is the best video about dust collection ever!
Your comments are awesome -- the outtakes are even better. Thank you for including those!
Laughed many times. I have that saw and it is horrible with dust. I’ve watched a million of these as well as hacked up and made three ducted systems now. Only thing I can see that will increase your percentage more is to somehow make that hard turn into something softer. Like a rounded turn. Stumpy nubs found that those square surfaces kill efficiency and I think even on the scale of your box making it just a little more organic inside will yield even better results. I unfortunately work as a finish carpenter, flooring installer, gate/fencing carpenter, and just about whatever my wife can come up with on the weekends. Even though I have a dewalt compound (non slider) as my job site saw, I’m renovating both of the units of our duplex so my Bosch has now turned into my lungs’ worst enemy! Thanks for the vid and keep up the wit; I love it!
Thanks for the excellent explanation and the outtakes! They show you make the same dumb mistakes as the rest of us.
I can't do the stuff that you do but it is always interesting and cool to watch!
That was awesome. I’ve been planning a huge dust shroud for ages. Going to take my plans in a whole new direction. Love your sense of humor. I stopped the video three times to tell my husband what you said.
Fantastic idea that works brilliantly !!! Thanks for taking the time to design this. I have been looking for a way of controlling the dust extraction from my Revolution rage-s 255 mitre saw and with your idea i tweaked it to fit and the results are brilliant. Thank you
Glad I could help!
thank you for this. Mine has to be the dustiest tool in my garage
Woodworking, science, math, and humor!?! Great video, keep it up.
love the fact that your out takes was literally a video of mistakes ive made. Thanks for sharing!
You kept my attention the whole time with this great, informative and humorous vid. Thank you for sharing.
I love your videos, you are naturally funny but approach things in a sensible way, the actual objective method used is really good especially as you finish with a percentage value of the actual timber removed by the cut. The out takes are brilliant and we will all recognise ourselves in them!
Thanks, Paul! Glad you liked it!
This guys commentary is hilarious! I have this saw I think I will make one of these too 😀
Best bit was whem you stuck the duct to the saw :o) Thanks for the entertainment.
BEST woodworking video I have ever seen! The humor and outtakes are priceless!
The outtakes are priceless. They sound like me when I don't pay attention. 😂
Almost spit my drink everywhere when he said "borrowed it from my neighbor's Meth lab" lol!
I love watching "myself" at the end. Wow, I'm not the only one....... Thanks for the good video. I'll try mine tomorrow.
Awesome, have fun!
Great humor along with great craftsmanship.
“I quickly hit it with some CA activator to instantly make my mistakes permanent.” LOL. Hilarious! Love it!
I don't have a mitre saw, but I stayed for the outtakes... ;-) 🇬🇧
This is how instructional videos should be done. Humor, knowledge, and the results of what your trying to accomplish.. great job and I'll be using your idea for dust collection.
love the outtakes at the end. , and the subtle comedy is like a breath of fresh air in the youtube diy world.
Your outtakes sound like they were recorded in my shop!
I love my bag. It lets me have the other 33% to stand on comfortably all day and as an atmospheric woodshop vignette it hides a lot more than my mistakes.
I simply love your videos together with your funny remarks! I watch the videos even if it might not always be a project that I'm intersted in. Keep up the good work!
I really enjoyed the outtakes at the end. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who makes silly mistakes! Great video and dust collector. Thanks.
Thanks for watching
I have the exact same saw and this collection issue has been driving me insane for years. I now have a solution! Thank you so much for allowing us to pick your brain, subbed for more videos about your neighbors meth lab!
Your funny, think I will try that with my saw since I have the same one. Keep up the funny informative videos. Thanks.
Never heard or seen your Channel before, but after watching just 1 video on your methodology for how to improve dust collection, I was hooked. You got yourself a new subscriber. Bravo!
I appreciate the analysis and the humor. Thanks!
I should've watch this just a bit earlier, cuz I sent my entire day making my stupid version of dust collect box which seems to not working at all. And I have to say that the mathmatical approach that you have done is by far the most impressive(persuasive) on woodworking video. Amazing job man.
Thanks a bunch! Glad you liked it
Amazing idea!
Okay, I am impressed. I have the same saw and I have tried several different ideas and tried several of my own and I will have to tell you, that you have done it. Great job thanks.
I love your sense of humor! Thanks for leaving in the bloopers too. Two thumbs up!
“I borrowed the scale from my neighbors meth lab”. I subbed 😂
Gold!
Wish he would bring it back now, got some "customers" waiting..... :)
Reggie Warner 😂😂
Same...
I finally made this! I didn't go any tests beforehand but I don't think my default dust bag is anywhere close to 77% efficiency. It's really awful. The shroud seems to control at least 80%, and there are some small gaps I need to fill that I'm sure will make it even better. Overall EXTREMELY happy how this has turned out.
Glad it worked out for ya, Adam!
Man, what a great video. Thanks for the outtakes. It's seldom that we get to see that side of making, so it can be frustrating when you're just starting out on your journey that you can't replicate the flawlessness of a video.
Great video. I really enjoyed the science behind it all while keeping the tone light and fun. Thanks for the idea!
This looks great (and saved to my "shop" playlist), but there's one solution you didn't test, and that is the "little bandshell" completely surrounding the saw. Those might work better with a large volume dust collector, so maybe the ultimate solution is to have both (considering diminishing returns, etc., etc., etc.)
You nerded out on this video. I watched the whole thing.
Sadly refreshing that other people are guilty of serious self ridicule when they make mistakes. Very good vid!
Slick man!! Beats the hell out of all of those massive shrouds that I see being constructed for this purpose. Straight forward and simple for a beginner sawdust maker like myself. Thanks.
Honestly, I wasn't particularly excited about the topic, but your interesting and entertaining approach kept me watching to the very end. Great job - thanks for taking the time to make quality content.
"I instantly make all my mistakes permanent." I could not stop laughing 🤣😂
I was cracking up at that too.
I love watching your videos. I am almost finished with my shop which took 4 years just to mod my tool stations. I have a similar saw mounted on a cart that I built. I think of it more as a sawdust spray unit than a miter saw. I pick which area of my shop that I want covered with sawdust, and just move the cart to that spot. I can cover anything! Thanks for sharing a good solution!
Thank you for your work, time, and keeping it real. Please keep producing. Mahalo
Dude. Funny! And instructive. I think you just Vandaled Mathias.
