    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!

    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!

  • @stephanstephan6185
    @stephanstephan6185 Před 5 lety +17

    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!

    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!

    Most of my cuts are also at 90 degrees. The problem is when I get in a hurry, I sacrifice improvements I've made for the sake of time. That's the problem I have with most solutions like this... I'd get in a hurry and suddenly have to cut angles, and I'd right through it. But being able to remove it that quickly? PERFECT. You rock. I'm going to do this for my Hitachi... Probably with some modifications to both the box and the saw. Thanks. If only more social media was about exchanging ideas instead of exchanging scantily clad selfies. I view those people as extras in this movie we call life. Extras don't have enough talent to have an important part. They're not worth much. But if they weren't there taking up that space, it'd probably be weird.

    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.)
