Love the end result! I'm a dust collection maniac, so I'll impart a little wisdom. Craft your initial designs in cardboard using foil tape. It's a huge time saver, it saves on material cost, it's just a superior approach to creating the end templates for the winning design!
after watching your miter saw dust collector tool a couple times, I decided to make one for my miter saw. After I made it following your instructions it capture's about 95% of the dust when cutting. I had my miter saw on wheels stuffed back in the corner of the shop because it made a big mess all over. With your help now I'll be using it more. Thanks again for your video and ideas !!!
I liked your thought process on designing this dust hood I also like the fact that you showed us the one that didn’t work and what you went through before coming up with a better solution this is your first video I’ve seen but I am now a subscriber keep up the good work One more thing I like your quick connects on your hoses with the magnets that’s ingenious
Thanks for this video, brought me precious teaching as i'm presently fighting with my miter saw 's dust collection ! Will definitively try your approach !
I’m so happy I just watch this video even though it’s been up for a year. I’m just getting into woodworking and my miter saw is my worst enemy with sawdust. This will definitely help a lot. Thank you
I purchased the plans and it works great. I use a dust collector for the side opening and a shop vacuum and I almost get no dust in my shop. Really like the videos. thanks for saving my lungs.
I just added some dust collection to my Dewalt miter saw and now I see how you built yours.. I'm going to modify mine more to what you engineered. Thank you.
@@RingsWorkshop I liked the music, but for those that don't, the volume was low enough that it can be easily ignored. So, good job! I also liked putting your failed attempt in there. I will be making one of these for my DeWalt this weekend.
Well done. And thanks for showing us what did not work at first as this enhanced the overall understanding of the challenge. Nice change out speed as well!
Good Job!!! Nice results. I would think, by now, manufacturers could do a better job with their availabe money and CAD drawings to R&D this issue. Of coarse they would have to even care about it to begin with, which obviously this does not appear to be a priority. The few manufacturers that attempt to tackle the problem seem to always fall short. We can put a person into outer space , but we cannot design built in dust collection created by a chop saw at the product manufacture level. You are takeing an engineering approach, that not many do, to the age old problem. Thank you for your effort and willingness to share with the rest of us the results.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I appreciate it. Dust collection is always intriguing to me because it seems like a lot is just guess and check to see if it works, so it can get frustrating when it doesn’t, but feels really good when it does!
The challenge is for a "chop saw" the dust collection hurdle isn't nearly as high as for a compound sliding miter saw that has to do left and right angles and compound bevels. If you open up the face of any dust collection system enough that it allows all of those angles, it isn't nearly as efficient.
I believe that making an initial non-through cut from back to front is preferred as it allows the sawdust a channel to escape through when making your final cut, this should also help with directing the sawdust.
Just subscribed. Great presentation of your designs and changes. The miter saw has been my biggest frustration when it comes to dust collection. I've watched many videos of different ideas, but most were big and bulky to accomodate the compound angle cuts. But like you, most of my cuts are straight. I have a different saw but your idea will work for me perfectly. Thanks
Well done and gives me ideas. i like that you show what doesn't work in the last three videos I watched of your this is your normal method. I hope you keep showing us what didn't work. Your use of the brushes in the last few projects was creative and different than others solutions and could be a game changer for those areas that solid pieces just can't take care of.
Can’t wait for the sanding storage!!! Subscribed. Thank you for showing what doesn’t work. Been searching for an amazing mitre dust solution for a while, while building my shop.
Dust problem solved on the miter saw. Patent it. I'd buy one. It's amazing that after all the years that this type of saw has been around that manufacturing wizards have not invented or made available a workable dust collection system for it. I am not an expert woodworker but I at least know now where to start for my 10 inch Dewalt.
Awesome video, as always. And, like many others have said, I really appreciate the tidbits of information as far as what not to do just as much as learning the right way to do something. Three minutes of watching video is not wasted time when compared to wasting 3 hours of build time and wasted material. Thanks again for taking the time to film, edit and share your knowledge with us. :-)
Fantastic! I love to see the trials and tribulations of the design and fab process. That helps stimulate creativity in other projects as well. Thank you very much.
Your design is pure genius. I made a similar one to fit my DeWalt and I bet it catches 95% of the dust. Now I'm using that as a template to make one to fit when my saw is at 45 degrees. I'll send you pics when I'm done. The adhesive brushes are one of the secrets to the great design. It works way better than a giant box around the whole saw and i'm selling my big Rousseau 5000 dust shroud, I never like it much. Anyway, thanks for the video.
Great Job Chris!! Good idea with the brushes. The users comment about using cardboard templates it also wise. Thanks for your time & effort to bring this to us. You earned my Subscription.
It seems like you do not like saw dust or the cleaning of it. lol. Keep showing the mistakes, we all make them and it makes me feel like I'm not the only one. Your craftsmanship is shown by your attention to detail. Nice work.
Thank you, I really appreciate that. You’re right, I hate saw dust because it gets all over everything in the garage. I also just find it fascinating as it seems like there still aren’t a lot of good solves for some of it, and I’m just stubborn enough to try things until I find something that works. Haha.
It’s always great to show the dos and don’ts in a project I have the same saw and I was tired of the boot clogging up so I will be using your method thanks and of course it’s so worth a sub
Firstly, you have the best music of any woodworking / maker 🤘🏼. Secondly, I enjoy how you take us through the process to get to a solution even if it doesn't work at first (or second). Love the miter saw station build.
I just subscribed, so I don't care which sequence you edit the videos. I like your design approach and like that you show the less successful attempts along the way. I have been working on the dust collection for my miter saw this week and I have built a pile of attempts. I will see how your approach fits my saw. As for the music, my ears filtered it out and I didn't notice it. Use what you like.
I really appreciate the very low volume of the background music. Your approaches to solving problems are some of the most clever and elegant I've seen. I like how efficient your video production is regarding my time being invested. I subscribed after I saw your first video.
Thank you so much, I appreciate it! If you don’t mind me asking, what type of device are you watching them on? I’m finding some have normal volume, some don’t adjust well at all and some have it super low to where you can barely even hear it.
Holy crap, you did it. Finally someone builds a logical dust collection. I was going to build one when I found the time and my thought was something similar to this. Great job, you saved me a ton of time. And as far as showing us what didn’t work, I wish everyone would do that. It’s invaluable, we all have ideas and different tools, seeing the trial and error helps a lot. Thanks for the video, new subscriber with the bell hit.
Of all the many videos on this topic. your solution is by far the best. I think that you have a new Makita mitre saw which has far superior dust collection helps a lot. I am developing a similar "Sawdust Trap" for my older Makita as the current products pricing makes the switch a poor trade. Also your use of bruh strips was both innovative and very helpful!
great job, trying to control dust on a miter saw is the hardest thing to do, if it were easy it would have been done long ago. Thanks for sharing your great effort, I wouldn't have thought of changing the hose size. Well done,
I've used other (10" saws) previously and was pretty surprised with the speed and cutting ability of this Dewalt saw.I have bolted mine to a table to minimize movement which I highly recommend.This is a Great saw th-cam.com/users/postUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe with a light to see your cutting line (not a laser line).I'd recommend this saw fro anyone looking to upgrade from a 10" miter saw.
I just spent an evening looking at ways to improve use of space in my shop, including your organization series. My existing miter cabinet is huge because of the huge dust cabinet I have around it. I will definitely be using this in my cabinet redesign. Great channel, I love how the reasoning process is presented in all your videos. Sub'd.
you did it again ;) I definitely appreciate the problem solving part of it as it helps me figure out problems I have better and might save me a bit of time. thanks!
1. Great work. 2. You can improve the OEM scoop also, it's a pretty dumb & minimally effective scoop on everybody's saw. 3. Re the whisker molding, you can both lock whiskers into the metal track more positively & capture the whiskers closer to the free ends by applying a bead of appropriate glue (CA works for natural and many plastic bristles). I do this on cheap paint brushes that loose bristles mercilessly and it saves the day
Thank you! I did that initially with the dust shoe on my last saw and it helped some, but still only have the 1” port coming in just isn’t enough in my opinion. I like the idea of firming the brushes up as well. Is there still play in it if glued closer? The blade doesn’t effect them much but when the dust shoe passes through it does quite a bit.
Should keep bristles from shedding glued to the metal strip, & stiffen them up if glued closer to ends (maybe half way?) by making the free end length shorter (which U could do on table saw closures as well)
EngineerMike F I see what you’re saying, I misunderstood the first response. That would make sense. Haven’t lost any yet, although that dust shoe has bent a few in the front so I may play with that.
Fantastic!. I was just trying to figure this out this afternoon for mine. I even had the idea of using the brush strips. you just cut my problem solving time by 80%! subbed!
@@RingsWorkshop what couplers did you use to attache the magnetic bases directly to the tools? the hose connectors wont fit in correct, and it needs to be tight enough it will stay.
@@RingsWorkshop haha. I'd just watched that video, and was asking on the wrong one. I understood it all except what you actually used to attach the magnetic plates to the tools. everything I have used is either friction fit, which could still get pulled off or uses pipe clamps over the hose. just wasnt sure what you used.
TrailerLife I used CA glue and activator to secure them. Put it inside the wooden piece, slipped it on and sprayed activator. Then put another bead on the outside and back side as well for safe measure. They don’t budge...I even tried to get one off to straighten it a bit and it’s not coming off anytime soon. Haha.
Another great video! I like seeing your whole process. Since our shops are different, seeing what works (or doesn’t) for you helps us troubleshoot our own solutions. Your solutions are so genius! This is such an impressive channel and it’s my new favorite on YT. I can’t wait to see your other videos. Keep ‘em coming! 👍🏼
Thanks for taking the time to show how this works. Going to build it for my Miter saw that just vomits sawdust everywhere... P.S.Still working on the magnets system for dust collection. They are nasty little buggers to wrangle!
Just come across your videos. really good, and I especially like the way you keep the music at a low tone instead of letting it blare out. lot of you tubers need to take note of that.
Okay, I made it yesterday and it works really great for the straight down chop saw motion, however, when using the gliding motion it still makes a mess. So, I am going to extend two cantilevers out and above the work surface and then attach brushes down to the surface and brushes horizontal to the blade. That should totally capture all of the dust. I will probably need an LED light at the back? LOL. Thanks for your efforts and sharing that work with us!
Curious if it’s the same saw because I rarely have much that misses even when fully extended. Wonder if extending the dust shoe for yours would be helpful for when it’s extended.
I have a BOSCH Miter/Glide Saw. I put the extension on it and it really did help. I think the brushes help capture and wipe most of the dust into the shoot, but the wood that remains on the blade and gets past the brushes needs to be captured by the rubber boot, which is too small. I have used blue painters tape for now to hone in on a more appropriate/effective size, and will change that material for longevity. It is too bad that BOSCH can not make an attachment to do all this effectively. They have the plexiglass guard that moves with the blade to protect your fingers (avoid lawsuits) but nothing to protect your lungs. That may change if they get law suites. @@RingsWorkshop
@@robertanderson2223 I always thought it would be cool to find a way to use the blade guard as dust collection but with the blade spinning the opposite way I’m not sure that’s realistic. But I do agree it’s surprising there aren’t better built in solutions.
Yet another GREAT project Chris. I like the "make on the fly" videos as we all can learn something that might crop up on our build. Also like the outtakes at the end! !! !!! The dust hose adapters are genius toooo
Excellent video, I have a Bosch compound miter so obviously I will have to modify the plans but over time I will make an improvement. Thanks for the ideas.
After years I found a box fan with a filter behind the saw, along with port use and zero clearance fences result in much easier dust collection. You do need, some area behind the saw itself.
@RingsWorkshop In fact, I went to the shop yesterday and built one for my miter saw. Got a little work to do on my dust collector, and then will try it out. I'm hopeful.
Love the end result! I'm a dust collection maniac, so I'll impart a little wisdom. Craft your initial designs in cardboard using foil tape. It's a huge time saver, it saves on material cost, it's just a superior approach to creating the end templates for the winning design!

Another great video! I like seeing your whole process. Since our shops are different, seeing what works (or doesn’t) for you helps us troubleshoot our own solutions. Your solutions are so genius! This is such an impressive channel and it’s my new favorite on YT. I can’t wait to see your other videos. Keep ‘em coming! 👍🏼
Thank you!
Thanks for taking the time to show how this works. Going to build it for my Miter saw that just vomits sawdust everywhere... P.S.Still working on the magnets system for dust collection. They are nasty little buggers to wrangle!
Hahah yes they are! Let me know how it turns out!
Great solution! This is one of the best I've seen and i will be using your idea. Great channel by the way.
Thank you!
Just come across your videos. really good, and I especially like the way you keep the music at a low tone instead of letting it blare out. lot of you tubers need to take note of that.
Thank you! Appreciate that!
Good Review of your process, very thoughtful. Thnks!
Thank you!
Great concept! Only one addition. Have a magnetic flange attached to a clean up wand handy to finish any loose debris.
Okay, I made it yesterday and it works really great for the straight down chop saw motion, however, when using the gliding motion it still makes a mess. So, I am going to extend two cantilevers out and above the work surface and then attach brushes down to the surface and brushes horizontal to the blade. That should totally capture all of the dust. I will probably need an LED light at the back? LOL. Thanks for your efforts and sharing that work with us!
Curious if it’s the same saw because I rarely have much that misses even when fully extended. Wonder if extending the dust shoe for yours would be helpful for when it’s extended.
I have a BOSCH Miter/Glide Saw. I put the extension on it and it really did help. I think the brushes help capture and wipe most of the dust into the shoot, but the wood that remains on the blade and gets past the brushes needs to be captured by the rubber boot, which is too small. I have used blue painters tape for now to hone in on a more appropriate/effective size, and will change that material for longevity. It is too bad that BOSCH can not make an attachment to do all this effectively. They have the plexiglass guard that moves with the blade to protect your fingers (avoid lawsuits) but nothing to protect your lungs. That may change if they get law suites. @@RingsWorkshop
@@robertanderson2223 I always thought it would be cool to find a way to use the blade guard as dust collection but with the blade spinning the opposite way I’m not sure that’s realistic. But I do agree it’s surprising there aren’t better built in solutions.
You would have gotten along well with Thomas Edison. You have a great learning-from-"failure" approach. Great solutions to these shop problems.
Hahaha thats awesome! Thanks!
Really cool build.
Thanks!
Yet another GREAT project Chris. I like the "make on the fly" videos as we all can learn something that might crop up on our build. Also like the outtakes at the end! !! !!! The dust hose adapters are genius toooo
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed them, those are my favorite ones to make...as long as they work out in the end haha!
Great video. Definitely not a waste of time! Now I will go make one for my miter saw!
Thank you!
Great presentation!
Thank you!
Love your videos, very innovative. By the way love your t-shirt too, Presidente, the best Dominican beer.
Thank you!! Been way too long, can’t wait to go back to enjoy some more!!
hey i appreciate you taking the time to do this video and you are rigth i don't have to waste my time
Always good to see what didn’t work, we can fast forward ahead if we don’t want to watch.
Great point, thank you.
Excellent video, I have a Bosch compound miter so obviously I will have to modify the plans but over time I will make an improvement. Thanks for the ideas.
Thank you!
After years I found a box fan with a filter behind the saw, along with port use and zero clearance fences result in much easier dust collection. You do need, some area behind the saw itself.
really enjoy seeing your thought process. thanks for sharing your work
That's a pretty remarkable result. Great build and video.
Thank you!!
Good Job . Gave me a great idea for my next project . Love the way you did this video . Keep up the good work .

Thank you!!
Definitely worthwhile to also see the failures, too often people edit those out.
I'm way late to your video, but it was great. Very creative and very effective. Thanks.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
@RingsWorkshop In fact, I went to the shop yesterday and built one for my miter saw. Got a little work to do on my dust collector, and then will try it out. I'm hopeful.
