    At last we've conquered (or at least mostly) the Dewalt DWS779 and DWS780 double bevel compound sliding miter saw dust collection. Many have tried but I really do think this is the best balance of improvement and maintaining full functionality. If you're looking for ways to control the dust in your shop or job site - I think you'll like it!

    Just ordered this. I just bought the DeWalt 780. Home Depot lists it as $649. I just got it on sale for $499. The $150 saved more than paid for this dust collection chute.
    I would think the manufacturers would have a big interest in buying these and just sell their miter saws with them already attached and included with their new saws. I hope you're trying to contact them and get them on board with adding these to their new saws. You definitely have filled a niche desperately needed and I hope they all jump on board. You'll make a fortune off this if they decide to buy these for their new saws and you rightfully deserve all the success it would bring you.

I would also be interested to hear more about the HF Hercules saw- their Hercules line has been getting really positive reviews from all over the internet, even when they are instrumented tests, so I would love to see something more in depth on their woodworking tools/saws, as most of the coverage seems to be focused on their drill and impacts.

    I bought your dust collection chute for my DWS779 and it really works. I had to modify it so my LS4000 blade would fit. I used a rasp to open the left side of the chute 5 degrees. The blade ($258) is so rigid it will not ease past your opening, bit as modified it collects the dust. Also added the MM Tools LED shadow light and Fastcap's zero clearance tape. Effectively I've got a DWS780 and saved $200. Keep up your efforts at fixing problems.

    Woo hoo! The dust collection on my DW780 is so bad I just don't even bother hooking up a shop vac and just blow the dust into a corner and clean it up later. This will make a HUGE difference!

  • @rossevans1035
    @rossevans1035 Před 8 měsíci

    I recently purchased your 'stl' files for the DWS780 in the hope that the unit would fit my DHS780.
    If I had asked, you would probably have told me it wouldn't suit my DHS780, but I took the chance/gamble and it didn't work out.
    The stl files are fine and the prints were perfect, so this is not a complaint.
    Simple fact is (I didn't realize before) that the DHS780 motor housing is larger and so is therefore more forward located than the smaller motor housing on the DWS780.
    Yes I could see this from photos, but didn't realize the extent of the difference.
    Your unit fits perfectly on the mounting holes of the DHS780, it is just that the outlet aims directly at the motor housing not allowing any flexible hose to be fitted.
    My simple take is that if the current DWS780 outlet section is curved forward towards a more vertical direction that this unit could be used perfectly on a DHS780.
    Are you planning on designing a model that will fit a DHS780?
    Also, the outlet thread on your DWS780 version has a right hand thread, whereas the standard DeWalt hose and connector fittings have a 32mm left hand thread.
    Is there a possibility of incorporating a 32mm (1.25 inch) left hand thread on the outlet?

BTW your design gave me about a 1/2" more depth to the wall than the "no it don't suck'" DeWalt tube that exits out the back of the slider, not including the hose, to not suck. Really like your vids.

  • @subsonicslug
    @subsonicslug Před 3 měsíci +1

    Here’s the rub: how does it work without the vacuum i.e. with a dust bag? Working on jobsites, we can’t always have a vacuum running along with a saw because we’ll pop a breaker. Instead, we use the dust bags that come with the saw and it significantly cuts down on sawdust spraying out the back.

    I watched this video and agree, my Dewalt miter saw works really well, but the dust collector sucks (NOT). I purchased the Shop Nation version and as soon as it arrived I installed it (easy installation process and there is a video in case you need help). I tested during a simple build and even though it wasn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, it worked much better than the stock system. I'll still wear my dust mask but clean up is much less after my projects. To me it was an easy investment in the best interest of my lungs and the rest of my shop. Thumbs up!!!

    Super job as usual Travis. I would love to see the Hercules 12” comparison. Are you using the Ridgid miter saw in your shop? I’ve been leaning towards the 12” Bosch Axial Glide, but it almost seems to be 6 of one half dozen of another when compared to others. I know Festool is supposed to be the best, but I’m not going to spend that being a diy guy. I just want to get as close as possible to “perfect” as possible. Since it’s designed and built by human hands, there really is no such thing. Just a saw that stays in alignment as it should. I’ve heard pros & cons on the Hercules, but will wait for your input. See you in the next installment.

  • @benjaminreinhardt259
    @benjaminreinhardt259 Před 10 měsíci +1

    Looks good! I have one of these saws and the dust collection is a real nuisance. The inefficiency is one thing, the blasted hose coming out the dead back of it is the real headache. An already deep saw gets even deeper when you hook up the dust collection. Then the hose gets in the way when trying to swing the saw for various cuts. I will be picking one of these up in the near future. Will probably wait until this fall. I don't do many wood working projects during the summer, spend my time doing yard projects.

  • @Yes..........
    @Yes.......... Před 10 měsíci

    I'm excited! I can't remember the model number of the dewalt saw that I have but I believe it's a older model. I had played around with making a shroud and other improvements that I'm capable of. They didn't work well so I just opted for making my mitre station easy to clean. I did so by making a 12"×7" funnel port at the rear base of the saw (hooked up to my dust collection system). So I think this design would pair perfectly with my setup.

    Also, I was so happy to see to go to your website and see that you're developing a new version for the DWS715/716 as well! I recently just picked up a DWS716XPS for my own shop. Any updates on when that is going to be released?

    OK so I rarely if ever comment or come back to a site to leave a review but the dust collection device Shop Nation came up with has left me no choice but to leave this review. My Dewalt DW780 with the factory designed dust collection device might just as well of not had any dust collection device at all. After cutting any amount of wood, even a single 2x4 resulted in a pile of dust on the machine, the floor, on me and everywhere else it wanted to go. I had wood dust stuck to the wall behind my saw and caused me to do vacuuming and clean up every time I used my saw.
    I watched this video and thought it was worth a try as Travis seemed to have put a lot of work into his design.
    I purchased the device from Shop Nation and from the unpackaging to install was nothing but extremely impressed. The quality of the 3D print is excellent. The mount up to my saw was spot on. I hooked it up to my dust collection system via a 4" to 2.5" reducer and I purchased the appropriate accessory's from Shop Nation.
    I am so happy with this device! Works amazing!

      Update to previous comments. After using this device for a few months, I am reporting that it has become a game changer for dust collection on my DW780. I do get a small amount of dust but it is absolutely no comparison to the disaster I used to have. Additionally, I had an issue with a small chunk of the plastic crack off where the rubber shoot attaches to the plastic. I sent Travis some pictures of the broken area and within a couple of days a new one showed up in the mail. Hats off to Travis and Shop Nation. Can't say enough good to properly describe how happy I am with the product and the way this company responds to customer concerns. Buy one of these devices and get back to loving your Dewalt mitre saw!

    Say what you want about harbor freight tools but I have the hercules table saw and it works great and has a great price point. Thanks for the video.

  • @KingCharles77
    @KingCharles77 Před 10 měsíci +2

    With the number of miter saws you now have, you should make a comparison video showing which has the best dust collection, both before as stock and after your modifications. Weigh the amount collected after a lot of cuts, perhaps by measuring the full weight of a bucket/filter system.

    I just decided on the DW780 in part because of your channel. I am a big Makita user, but I couldn't justify the price/features against the 780 on sale at HD for $550. The Herc was tempting, but my fondling tests in store led me to believe it would not be quite as stiff and repeatable accurate on cross cuts. a side by side comparison of the 780 and Herc clone would be great. Missing on all the youtube reviews is good testing of cross cut accuracy. The 5 cut method that is used for table saw sleds can be used. I used this to determine that the 10 inch craftsman slider I had could never be adjusted to provide the accuracy I need. As a nod to HF, I have bought the Herc stand. So I will have a Yellow/Blue hybrid, that would come close to Makita Green when mixed. LOL

    It works very well, much better than expected. I am 100% satisfied with it and can absolutely recommend it. I live in Switzerland and the shipping costs were high. But it was still absolutely worth the money. And it's honest and not fake.

  • @ethanshannon1840

    I own both the DeWalt (personal saw) and the Hercules (lives in my high school robotics lab). I might prefer the DeWalt based solely on the lever vs knob to change the angles on miter cuts, but that’s it. The Hercules is a fantastic saw, and I recommend it to others based on the price. I’ve had many other high school teams in my lab that discounted it because it’s from Harbor Freight until they’ve used mine, and then they’ve gone out and bought one after. I think a review would be great as others are not giving it a chance for the same reason.

    I have the Dewalt 12" slider, and took delivery of your replacement dust collector.
    Haven't had enough time to even install it....
    Would love to see a comparison between the Dewalt and the HF version.
    It'll either make me glad I spent the money for the Dewalt, or embarrass the snot out of me for spending that much money.....
    Excellent work Travis, love your channel!!

    Good morning, been watching your channel for some time now. I'm glad to see someone finally attacking dust collection problem with miter saws. I've got a lot of experience with many brands and models. I'm looking forward to the day I can finally get myself a Festool Kapex. I currently have a R4222 RIDGID15 Amp Corded 12 in. Dual Bevel Sliding Miter Saw with 70 Deg. Miter Capacity and LED Cut Line Indicator that I 'm very satisfied with at this time. I was wondering when you may planning on working this saw. Glad you did the Dewalt although I am not a fan of it. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

  • @karlsangree4679
    @karlsangree4679 Před 10 měsíci

    Just ordered one for my DWS779. Can't wait. I currently don't even use dust collection. For the tiny amount of sawdust that actually gets into the vac with the factory system, it's not even worth the time and effort to hook it up. A massive flaw in an otherwise decent miter saw.
    EDIT: Just took delivery of mine and finished the install. This dust chute performs exactly as advertised and is a MUST HAVE for this saw.

    I’d love to see that Dewalt/Hercules comparison video. My go to power tool brand is Dewalt since I have a dozen or so batteries and have been pretty happy with their products. I’m thinking of upgrading from my old 10” non-sliding Dewalt miter saw so if the Hercules saw is just as good I’d love it. This will live in my shop so no need for a battery option. Interestingly though my current Dewalt miter saw has amazing dust collection. Probably because it doesn’t have to slide though haha

  • @patrickkerr329

  • @hackfabrication139

    I have the DeWalt 779, and it's a dust throwing machine. The OEM collection isn't even worth mentioning. A lot of times, the suction from a shop vac will collapse the flimsy rubber 'lips'.
    I've come to grips with the reality of power miter boxes and dust collection: You'll never, ever get 100% of the dust. As is with most other tools, there will always be some residual dust escaping. I built a full box around my old DeWalt (non-slide) miter box, and it captures probably 85%-90% of the dust. But there is still enought left to necessitate cleaning up. When I tackle any sort of dust collection adaptation, I'm happy to get 75% of it. Anything more, and I'm estatic.

    Hi your Shed Blog bought me to you . I really admire a Person that pushes themselved to the Limit. Well done you on your Dust Colector. . We move to buy a Larger Home in a couple Hopefully 10 Acres of Land we will get our first Saw. For making Picture Frames. I am a Saw Virgin lol. I know nothing about them but are willing to Learn. I guess i will have to go back to the start of your Journey to learn as much as i can. Yoh come across great on here.

  • @scottpeal60
    @scottpeal60 Před 10 měsíci

    I noticed in your slow mo's that sometimes the cut sprays the dust in more of a fan motion. But not always. It might be nice to have a second collector that is more of like a backstop which extends 4-6 inches to both sides. It would have to be fold downabld towards the back for angled cuts. But most of my cuts are 90 degress.
