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!
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!
Exceptionally well done! Elegant, yet simple!
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.
Great job on a mostly perpetual and perplexing problem! Good work!
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.
Thanks for the tip made a box for my evolution and it works a treat, no dust all over the bench.
Bravo, bravo! Finally something that actually works!
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.
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.
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!)
I bought this mitre saw in June 2014, and I remodeled my basement with it. It it sturdy and it works great czcams.com/users/postUgkxKL3MYO42eA2JbKxs7_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.
This is the best solution I have seen. Quite a few CZcams 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.
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.
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!!
Best solution yet!
Great job! Thanks!
Stellar solution for the shops dust demon. I'm making mine today. Thanks for the step by step video.
Apart from having to change out for angle cuts it looks awesome 😄
Just finished my this for my miter saw. Works great and gets about 90% of the dust. Great plan.
Looks to be the best solution I've seen yet. Definitely tomorrows build.
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.
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.
Brilliant build. Thanks for sharing!
Great tutorial! I can't wait to build my own later today. Thanks!
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.
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!!!
Thanks for posting this. This design gives me hope for my miter saw!
Every little bit helps. Thanks for the video!
Watched your video and made a similar one for my evolution saw, works great, no dust thanks for idea.
Congratulations!! Now here's a young man who is a carpentry problem solver. Every job is different and foresight problem solving is key.
I can’t wait to start working in mine. Very good job!
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!!
That's amazing! Well done. Thank you!
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.
Brilliant idea! This is going to be my next project.
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.
That’s the VERY BEST SOLUTION that I’ve seen yet.
I’m going to
make one for my 12”
Great idea and well designed. Congratulations!!
Very elegant system, 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! I am going to make one for my 12" Dewalt compound saw.
Fantastic idea! 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!!
Looks like i found the solution to my problem! Excellent work!
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...
Man, you have a minimal but effective design, others have to cover the whole miter saw, thanks for the idea.
Thanks for this dust collector project. Works great, collected about 98% of the dust from my saw.
Great job man. Truly innovative.
I made one like it last year but my hose was at a 45. Worked very well. Thanks
That is a huge difference great work dude
I was about to do the big box on the back thing but will definitely give this a go instead
Thank you ,it's a real problem.
Brilliant idea and video... Thank you very much
Very nice.. best and easiest I’ve seen.
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.
Years ago I tried it and mostly errored, but now with this video I am confident that I can make a much better collector than before and also a collector that will work on my router table, the other sawdust spewer.
Good idea, nicely executed. Well done.
I like ! Very nice, Thank you for sharing !
Awesome design that by itself would be worth it.
Good work. not many of these on youtube actually do anything, this one seems to work. Thanks for sharing
I’m impressed thanks for the great video ❤
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.
Thanks. Saw the rest of it, so you answered my question.
Good job! Really impressive!
Best solution I've ever seen, gotta go build one for myself now :D
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.
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
Nice job, I like it. Thanks for sharing
Great idea, I liked your presentation, going to try it myself
Excellent work!
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.
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.
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....
Thanks for sharing.
Excellent!!
Excellent little fix! If you make additional openings on the face / top, to match the suction port, the flow will be better. Another idea is a slot along the top with a collapsible rubber backstop that will assist in getting the small bits that fly over the top (the ones produced at the beginning of the cut, closest to you). Thanks for sharing your process.
I don't quite understand your idea. Do you mean that dust collection should be from above instead of the sides to improve suction?
@@davnunn1 No, the port on the side is great. What I failed to convey the first time around is: The goal is to allow an increase in flow. That flow will assist in bringing EVERYTHING in. if that makes sense
He’s saying you need an opening in the wooden portion equal to the opening of the hose on the face of the shroud. This will ensure maximum volume of air through the shroud, ergo maximizing dust removal. I’d also recommend compensating somewhere for the restrictions from 4 down to 2.5 to prevent overheating. Ideally that other 1.5 inches is open in the line somewhere.
Amazing. I like it. Thanks for sharing.
great job! very impressive.
Great idea. Need to figure out how to make one for a sliding mitre saw.
Perfect! I will be adding this method to my miter saw asap. As for angled cuts and blocking off that extra hose, what about a fitting on the wall or behind the saw that the hose "plugs into". The wall or counter will block off the suction.
That would definatly work! I ended up just adding a blast gate to it!
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 !
Great job man and I hope to build one for myself
Awesome....good job young man!!!
Thanks
Dude, This i genius! I'm definitely gonna make one of these for my miter saw
Right on, thanks for this! You'd think by now stock dust collection would be far better but clearly not MFG's desires yet, for some reason.
Really a Great job
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.
You did a awesome job awesome
Nice job.
Nice! I have the same saw. Inspiration!
Good job tank you
Brilliant 👏.
Brilliant!
Shop nation has put a lot of time and effort into capturing dust collection with 3D printer designs he sells for various models. It appears this DIY is a much better approach.
Neat little gadget. I guess this is great if you are only making straight cuts. Misses the point of the angles and bevels of the mitre saw though. Thanks for sharing!
I just bought my 1st miter saw &I don't want to use it until there is some kind of dust collection for behind the blade. I don't have a sophisticated dust collection system at all & I don't have a fancy work bench. I am a crafter not a builder & have converted an old sewing cabinet that rolls to be a saw stand. So I'm going to try this with s smaller shop vac that I'm going to mount inside the cabinet & can roll out of the way. The idea is a really good one. As a newbie, I just hope I can do it :)
I think your going to find that the smaller vacuum and hose just won't produce enough CFM to be very effective as FIX this Build that guy found out when he set up his miter saw station.
I'm so building this!!
This is a great idea!
Very good solution for straight cut, not for angle cut though.
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.
