I bought this mitre saw in June 2014, and I remodeled my basement with it. It it sturdy and it works great kzhead.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.
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 have a dewalt saw as well, and I'm hoping to put something like this on it. But I'm new to woodworking. So if you have any pics or ideas you can share that would be great.
Here's a hint. Use a pc of pvc pipe! Works wonders a d is easily changed out!
Great idea. Need to figure out how to make one for a sliding mitre saw.
Thank you ,it's a real problem.
ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS ON THE NET BRO! SERIOUSLY.... IF YOU JUST STROLLED UP TO ANY CEO OF ANY SAW MANUFACTURER, YOU COULD GET PAYED BROTHER!
Really a strong start. As an engineer I was thinking same concept as you tested out vs the big hoods. Small air box keeps up velocity. Nice work.
Exceptionally well done! Elegant, yet simple!
This is the best solution I have seen. Quite a few KZhead channels are making plastic printed units that seem to work well but most of us do not have 3D printers. Once my shop is finished, I am going to do the same as this one. I was so impressed that you have a new subscriber. Very well done.
Thanks so much for sharing this idea. You're right; most of the time we tend to make straight cuts and I like the idea of making a box for the common angles.
Brilliant build. Thanks for sharing!
Best solution yet! Great job! Thanks!
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
That's amazing! Well done. Thank you!
Great job on a mostly perpetual and perplexing problem! Good work!
Every little bit helps. Thanks for the video!
Fantastic idea! Thanks
Very elegant system, good job!
Great idea and well designed. Congratulations!!
Great tutorial! I can't wait to build my own later today. Thanks!
Neat and really effective design. I've just made and fitted a collection box to my mitre saw and it's made a huge difference, even without the additional side vent port (will add when Y splitter for the suction line arrives!)
Awesome design that by itself would be worth it.
Maybe make different collection boxes for the major cutting angles??
There's an idea I hadn't thought of! I may do that!
Great idea. Same general design but probably at least 4 other angles
I was thinking the same thing, but use a main box with a sacrificial piece that mounts to the top for easy change out.
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.
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.
Thanks for posting this. This design gives me hope for my miter saw!
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.
I can’t wait to start working in mine. Very good job!
Fantastic idea! Millions of us are now going to adopt and apply this idea to our own miter saws. Thank you! One critique: the background music was completely unnecessary and was distracting. Keep up the good work!
Great job man. Truly innovative.
Brilliant idea! This is going to be my next project.
Bravo, bravo! Finally something that actually works!
Very good job. Well thought out and planned. You earned this new sub. I've been a carpenter for almost 40 years and ,man I'm impressed. This is the next project.
Good work. not many of these on youtube actually do anything, this one seems to work. Thanks for sharing
Looks to be the best solution I've seen yet. Definitely tomorrows build.
Stellar solution for the shops dust demon. I'm making mine today. Thanks for the step by step video.
I recently built a similar set up for my DeWalt. Totally inspired by this video. Thanks for the inspiration and example! My lungs thank you too!!
Great video, I'm disabled and just doing small diy projects ie birdhouses and bird feeders as a hobby. I did inherit some of my dad wood working tools, I like the box you made and I'm going to try to build one to work with my craftsman miter saw. I don't have a large dust collection system just a dust deputy and my dad 6hp shop vac. but I was impressed with your results.
Excellent!!
Can't wait to see Shop Nation add side vacuum to his collectors. Good job on your prototype, made without a 3d printer no less.
Excellent work!
Thanks for the tip made a box for my evolution and it works a treat, no dust all over the bench.
Good job! Really impressive!
Looks like i found the solution to my problem! Excellent work!
This is amazing solution. To make it an "ultimate" dust collection you can even incorporate a down draft part on the miter saw base. Like a pegboard top with suction below. New subscriber! Love your videos. Very clean designs and affordable equipment so its more relatable.
I like ! Very nice, Thank you for sharing !
Thanks for sharing.
Good idea, nicely executed. Well done.
great job! very impressive.
Great! I am going to make one for my 12" Dewalt compound saw.
Watched your video and made a similar one for my evolution saw, works great, no dust thanks for idea.
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.
Apart from having to change out for angle cuts it looks awesome 😄
Brilliant idea and video... Thank you very much
Brilliant 👏.
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.
Holy crap! I have that same saw! Different dust collection system but im building a new miter station this weekend. Ill be building a collection box while im at it!! Thank you!!!
Nice job.
Really a Great job
You did a awesome job awesome
Very nice.. best and easiest I’ve seen.
Nice job, I like it. Thanks for sharing
I’m impressed thanks for the great video ❤
Great idea, I liked your presentation, going to try it myself
Brilliant!
Nice collection box. Like the results! Easy solution. To collect with angle cuts, two more boxes just the same, but with cuts for 45 degrees left and 45 degrees right.
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.
Honestly, as long as it picks up the fine dust that floats in the air I'm good with vacuuming up the larger bits.
Amazing. I like it. Thanks for sharing.
Nice! I have the same saw. Inspiration!
This is a great idea!
Great job man and I hope to build one for myself
I was about to do the big box on the back thing but will definitely give this a go instead
That is a huge difference great work dude
Great stuff! subscribed!
Good job tank you
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.
Awesome....good job young man!!!
Thanks
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.
BigTrainBuff: could you send a photo of your setup - I too do a lot of angled miter cuts and need something more flexible. Patriot DIY, great video and idea!
Check out the one Izzy Swan uses on his Bosch slider
Love it! I tried something similar with a piece of old bike tube (butyl). It helped a bit but was not as good as this. I wish the saw manufacturers were working as hard on this...
That’s the VERY BEST SOLUTION that I’ve seen yet. I’m going to make one for my 12”
Most Excellent!!!!!
Nice one!
Great video and solution. I purchased one of these dust shrouds that surrounds the saw but it really doesn’t help direct or collect the dust like I need it to. I cut a lot of MDF so I really need it to work well. I’m going to give this a go. It’s one of the better designs I’ve seen 🏆 Thanks!!
Good Job!
Awesome indeed...Bro you deserve an Academy Award for it...sell your jig and make some good scratch....best of luck....👍👍👍...you've done an awesome job....
Preciate the video. Very helpful, and just what i needed! The dreadful miter cleanup is killer and time consuming! 98% straight cuts so this is perfect.
I made one like it last year but my hose was at a 45. Worked very well. Thanks
Great job !! I'm going to make one with my own twist on it so I can make all the angle cuts as well !! Right now there's a mountain of saw dust because I was doing repetitive cuts on a project. I've been thinking about how to address the problem and here you are !! Thanks !!
Awesome. Let me know how you change it for angles!!
Best solution I've ever seen, gotta go build one for myself now :D
Greetings from hull uk, defo going do this, awesome vid
Brilliant
Congratulations!! Now here's a young man who is a carpentry problem solver. Every job is different and foresight problem solving is key.
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.
Man, you have a minimal but effective design, others have to cover the whole miter saw, thanks for the idea.
Thanks. Saw the rest of it, so you answered my question.
Just finished my this for my miter saw. Works great and gets about 90% of the dust. Great plan.
Nice!
Love it. I'm considering adding a seperate piece that would pivit with the saw that alows the me to keep the zero clearance with infinte angles.
Your french cleat wall looks exactly like mine... empty! 😂
Great job! I was thinking of doing something similar but it gets tricky when you want to start cutting anything that isn't a square 90 degree cut.
HI, I like what you did. You said you still have a little dust back of the saw. My old miter box did the same as they all do . I was going to put a dust port under the blade ( box it in ) were a lot of the dust just sets and blows to the back . I almost done laying out my workshop after the move to N.C.
Great idea , well thought out .The only problem is it's only good for 90 degree cuts .I suppose others could be made to accommodate various angles Nice !
Nice
