How To Make A Custom Radial Arm Saw Dust Collection
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.พ. 2025
- In this video I make a custom dust collection setup for my Radial Arm Saw . I had a idea that will make using this saw for 90 deg cross cuts a pleasure to use with no dust making a mess of the shop or getting air born and messing up your lungs .
This is the best design I could think up to eliminate this huge dust making machine that I have
Please tell me what is the biggest mess maker in your shop ?

I just built something using your guidance but made the top out of clear acrylic so I could see if the sawdust was flowing freely and to catch any clogs in the system. Not perfect, especially when the blade is some distance from the fence, but it wicks much better that the home-brew version I had before. Thanks for the suggestion!!
check out this solution to dust control on my favorite tool in the shop and let me know what your favorite tool is
Patrick's work shop I love RASs too. I like your dust collection design, it may be the best I've seen for cross-cuts, which is about 50% of what I use a RAS for, then 30% for ripping and the rest for miters and bevels. Is it easy to remove if you want to move the fence to the back to rip plywood? Without some sort of dust control RASs are the biggest pigs in the shop.
Very creative and simple. Nice job!!!
Glad to know I'm not the only one who likes a good RAS.
Always glad to see users of the Radial Arm Saw. They are a saw dust maker thats for sure. What tool isnt. LOL Im hoping to get my hands on my grandfathers RAS soon. He has passed. RIP. Im sure he would have loved all this available TH-cam content. My dad has it for now but dosent use it much. Fingers crossed. My fav? What ever works to get the job done.
David Bishop Hey David sorry to hear about your loss and i agree about the dust o well i did b 4 this video thanks for watching fingers crossed thanks for watching
What a great solution! I don't really have a favorite tool. They are like a music band or orchestra. They all work together to perform a great piece ... Love them all:)
Construct Icon thanks ! awesome answer to the question i asked thanks and thanks for watching Patrick
For a long time I used a radial arm saw for what most people use a table saw for. Now I have a table saw but still have the radial arm saw. Hope to get more use of the radial arm saw in my new shop I am building in the back yard. I also hope to use the same design you have for dust collection. Great job Patrick!! Love seeing Steve Carmichael's head spinning around :)
You've got a pretty happening beat in this one and a neat solution for the dust control. My favourite tool is my table saw, I love it! :)
John Heisz thanks John this dust solution does work great thanks for watching
I also own a Craftsman RAS. I have the back stop style dust deflector (Catches some). I will have to see if I can add something like this to mine. Thanks for the video. And thanks John for sharing.
When you gonna replace that old under the table Saw Saw with….
Another old saw that’s above the table Saw Saw 🏠 🍕?
Pretty SWEET set up to manage the dust on this saw!!! Really dig how well and useful this project is for such an awesome saw. My favorite tool in the shop is the dust pan. So simple and yet so practical. Thanks for sharing friend!!
Nicholas Gomez thanks Nick your pretty funny with the dust pan thanks for watching
My favorite tool is the band saw for sure. I need a good dust collection set up for sure.
Cy's Corner Hi Cy ; ) I like the band saw to and having dust control is important even a little control is better than none thanks for watching Patrick
Great video thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching.
Very cool idea. I picked up an old DeWalt RAS at a garage sale and I'll have to fix that dust problem and here you are with a solution. As far as my favorite tool in my shop it depends on what I'm doing but for the go to it would have to be my band saw.
You are a true down to earth woodworker. thanks.
Your ingenuity is inspired! A very clever solution Patrick!
Peter Brown thanks buddy it works rather well for a box and shop vac thanks for watching
You worked so fast and were so innovative, that you had Steve wondering which way way up (haha good prop)! That is one of the best dust collection ideas and build for both radial arm and sliding miter saws! Thanks for sharing!
MRrwmac well thanks i like to make thing work good for my shop and sharing is what we do as woodworkers thanks for watching
Good build and it works. My favorite tool is the table saw. Next band saw,then the router, Steve is always going in circles LOL
Backyard Woodworking thanks Roland and thanks for watching
Patrick's work shop Pretty amazing difference in that dust maker! Great idea! I like all the white, it has a very clean look. I have to say my favorite tool in the shop has to be my tablesaw. Especially after I upgraded my fence. Great video man!
WoodworkingManiak thanks Tim thanks for watching
Love the design man! Looks like it works great! They should have manufactured them with that on it! Favorite tool in the shop has to be the Bandsaw. If you can throw down some creativeness... A bandsaw can make you look like a Rockstar!
Cool solution to your dust issue. Stylish even, it blends right in with the table like it was meant to be there. As for my favorite tool.... Whichever one is the newest. In the past few months I have gotten a lathe, a lil bandsaw, and most recently a thickness planer.
That really works great Patrick and the music adds a nice touch.Keep up the good work, you come up with terrific ideas. My favorite tool has to be my table saw.
Larry Clement thanks Larry yup a good table saw is the heart of the wood shop thanks for watching
Thanks patrick. From one patrick to another.i liked the box idea. Its not a bad solution. Worked great in my shop.
That was awesome! nice system, you can't beat good dust collection. I love the radial arm saw, the best tool hands down, agreed..
Looks good - very well made and a good fix
Christopher Demetrick thanks Chris
Looks like a great solution. I will have to remember it if I ever get mine set up where it is useable.
Finally a video about my favorite tool, RAS Forever, thanks.
Stephen Andrusco awesome glad you liked it thanks for watching
No more dust! Good job
Just got a Craftsman 10" RAS at auction for $100 --- years ago my Dad bought a DeWalt RAS and it was a great saw for accurate cutting. We always had it at building sites. I really got used to it for quick and easy cross cuts, making identical length short pieces for various projects, etc. So when I get mine up to speed now, I think it will be my favorite tool also. I really like your dust collection idea - it is what I will need because I don't want a lot of dust in my shop.
I like your video for simplicity and have made one for my RAS-thank you!
excellent! simple, cheap and effective. getting that dust under control brings so many benefits to your shop and lungs
That's a great idea! My favourite tool would definitely be my lathe. I could pay around on it all day long haha. Keep the great videos coming!
Excellent Patrick, very well done...
Paul Bialozor thank you sir thanks for watching
Thanks Patrick, I have started watching videos on my newest toy my craftsman RAS . Getting some Ideas for the set up ,dust collection, on Bench , all good things .I didn't know how I was going to do everything yet . But thanks to TH-cam I have got inspired and thinking 💭 lol thanks for sharing Regards BobLee
great solution! your ideas will definitely help as I work out dust collection for an old Dewalt mbf saw I picked up last week
Good solution. Dust collection is in my very near future.
Great work Patrick... Mannn that made a huge difference. Steve Carmichael has to be dizzy by now..
Funny Spinning Steve, Great video Patrick
Mike Fulton thanks Mike glad you liked it thanks for watching
Great video Patrick....nice solution for the dust.
Favorite tool is the bandsaw / lathe.
Wow that really seems to work well! Nice work Patrick! As for my favorite tool, its probably the bandsaw.
TabLeft Workshop Thanks Ray it works great and thanks for watching i also like my bandsaw
jigsaw light was killer - that RAS dust collection seems to work awesome - fave tool is my table saw - great job man!
Patrick, that looks like it works awesome! Nice work.
***** thanks for watching
Very nice solution. My favorite tool is My Radial Arm Saw!
Michael Olson awesome then i take it you know what i am talking about thanks Michael for watching
Great idea Patrick's work shop my favorite tool is my table saw, but i just got a new bandsaw...haven't had time to play with it much...i plan on building your circle jig, and ur scoops on it when i do...thanks
Brilliant! I have the same saw and was about to re-invent the wheel when I looked up DIY dust collection on TH-cam you now have a new subscriber!!!
You did a slick job on this project! Also, Steve looks a little dizzy! lol
I've seen lots of ideas, but this is the simplest, and looks to be the most efficient. Going to give this a try in the next week or so.
Favorite tool is the Table saw.
Looks like it works Patrick. I will give it a go.
Thanks for a great idea Patrick, I stopped using my old 1970s DeWalt because of the mess. With this I can get it working again.
Patrick thanks for sharing you did a great job on the dust collection
Great solution Patrick. I like that is not big a bulky, you can hardly see it. My favorite tool is my cordless drill.
Very creative Patrick's work shop, I have a craftsman radial arm saw too that I used most of the time. Thanks for the idea and I like the boxes you made to extract all the dust, I plan on making one this summer. Thank you.
BTW I’m picking up the same craftsman table saw that you restored. I’m sure I’ll be rewatching your videos on that project.
Well done, Patrick. I don't have very many tools yet. My circular saw is my favorite for now.
My best tool is Radial saw and I really like that dust collection system
Awesome video. Nice Solution for dust control.
That's a totally unique way of dealing with a radial arm saw dust problem!
Awesome Idea Patrick! I can't wait to put that style of dust collection on my early 70's Craftsman RAS.
Great solution. I think I might do just the same with my messy radial arm saw. My favorite is my delta table saw. Though I am quite fond of my old Stanley and Bailey planes.
Great dust collection for your RAS. I too really liked the tune. Almost grabbed my bass off its stand. Cool vid Patrick.
Donnie G thanks Donnie i hope to find some more good tunes for my vids thanks for watching
Great job on the dust collection Patrick. Hard for me to name a favorite tool. I like them all especially my CNC.
Dave Gatton thanks Dave i would guess your cnc was your favorite tool thanks for watching
Epically done sir
Wow, that is really a great design..............
ITS A WOOD THING thanks Ronnie i really appreciate the comment and thank you for watching
Wow, that works surprising well. Great idea! My favorite tool is my domino.
Brian McCauley oh that's a cool tool for sure thanks for watching and commenting
that is a great way of containing the dust from that monster!!
That is cool.I have had my RAS for thirty years,and finally did a similar thing.I wanted it right against the wall for space,so have 6x6x 14" upright box with opening at the top.Not as efficient as yours but does catch 90% of dust.My favorite tool is my 5 routers lol Love the router.
Nice design and execution, love the RAS
I have a dust collector for my RAS
The wall, and it does an amazing job.
I have a RAS but have never used it yet! I would love to learn more about how to use it and tips and tricks of the RAS....I hope to see many more RAS videos and projects using it soon! Thanks and great vid!
+Gary Bowen awesome I'm glad you got RAS I don't have any videos planned as of yet but keep your eyes peeled I have something in the works thank you so much for watching
Looking forward to it!
Cool idea! Especially ducting the port at the top of the blade guard into the suction box. I'm probably going to borrow some of your ideas. Because I do a lot more than just crosscuts on my Radial Arm Saw (a Sears Craftsman from the mid-1970s) I will have to make adaptations. I need dust collection for rip cuts, miter cuts, shaping and jointing, and other operations. Your system is a good clean start for my ideas. Thanks!
Very nice work Patrick and a great solution to the problem, my favourite tool in my shop is my Band Saw but I have to get me a spinning Steve Carmichael head now!
fantastic solution Patrick my favorite tool in the shop is my table saw
Well done! Impressively great idea. I don't even have a RAS but if I ever get one I'll steal this idea.
Hey Patrick,
My Dad had that same saw when I was a kid! He just pointed the damned port to the back of the work bench then made me climb under there and clean it out every once in a while haha.
As for favorite tool, so far it's the bandsaw I think, and I love the "cu-chunka" of the brad nail gun :D
Meghan Mowder Hi Meghan thanks for watching and i also love the band saw and brad nailer thanks for commenting
I like it. It looks like it will work better than my dust collection setup. Thnx
+Gramps Wood Toys thanks for the comment. And i can say this setup on a radial arm saw works great.
Nice idea Patrick, and a really we'll put together video! My favorite tool is my delta unisaw.
Joseph Davis thanks Joe a unisaw is a good choice thanks for watching
I have had that same RAS since 1975. I just refurbished it and plan to build a new dust collector. Thanks for the ideas. I also make a lot of 45 deg. cuts so I'm trying some other tunnel configurations. BTW, this model qualifies for the $100 recall but NOT the upgraded parts. The 4 sealed bearings will determine when I scrap this for a new model (originals no longer available and substitutes are way too expensive).
My mitre saw or my router are my favourite tools as they are the most useful tools I have!i can't wait to get a table saw so I can build more complicated items!great video!
BCdesign thanks and i agree miter saws are good but a router is so handy in the shop so any ideas on what table saw you might get? thanks for watching
it will have to be a a small portable mitre saw as my work space is tiny,I was thinking a bosch or dewalt,the bosch can take a dado blade

my brother has two of the dewalts for work and they are work horses so good choice. they are both good ones so good luck to ya
Thanks hopefully over the summer i will get one!
Looking good Patrick! I think my favorite tool would be a 3 way tie between my bandsaw, my lathe, and my welder.
Much better. My favorite is my jointer
Matthew Cremona awesome my favorite tool in your shop is also your jointer thanks for watching
awesome. I like it. I recently acquired a RAS and was wondering what I was going to do for dust collection. Now I know. Thanks
Great video Patrick! I partially like the spinning Steve Carmichale in the background ;) lol
Passion Woodworking thanks and thanks for watching
Hey Pat, hope everything is OK. Your view on projects is different and great! Keep um comin'. Thankz
nice solution Patrick!!!
Thierry vanlaer thank you for watching
Sweet project Patrick! Watch out man, Carmichael's coming right for ya! Love the custom light on your jigsaw btw. Might have to borrow that idea. I seem to use the scrap made bench I move from outside to inside all the time, so my favorite tool is the scrap wood bench that I don't mind painting and tagging with AT-ATs.
Great idea Patrick, like the performance it has. Favorite tool in my shop is my shaper.
I would agree with you Patrick. My 50 year old Dewalt Radial Arm Saw is my favorite.
You just can bet it for dado cuts.
That's a great solution Patrick!!
Not sure what my favorite tool is yet
Scott
Hey! Patrick,
Love your dust control system. Very cool.
Pity people have such a negative view of the RAS for ripping. I use mine for ripping regularly; have never had a problem.
But then I have my own system and set-up which has worked safely for me.
My favorite (power) tool is my Radial Arm Saw without doubt.
Brendon
+Waney Edge Workshop thanks Brendon I too love my RAS i primarily do cross cuts with this one but as a kid my pops used to rip mega board feet with the one he had thanks for watching
Great build Patrick, I can think of my favorite tool.......:)
Carl Jacobson hmm its a jig saw right thanks for watching Carl
I have an old Craftsman RAS. I found there was a safety recall available for the saw. It comes with a better blade guard which also changes the shop vac port to the rear of the guard. Check out www.radialarmsawrecall.com for more information.
Jesse Fast this saw dose have the recall but since it works so well and even if it didn't i wouldn't never give the carriage to them for the lousy 100 bucks they are offering
I found your site thanks to Frank Howarth. My favorite tool in the shop is my sliding miter saw.
Just came across your channel and I just got a RAS a few months ago but have not gotten it set up yet. its great to see your layout!
Great idea for a great tool! I also have a r.a.s. and hell yea its sef a dust maker. "Play that funky music white boy" ;) haha
My favorite tool wood be my bandsaw Its not used the most but I love using it! Thanks for sharing pat!
Awesome video Patrick! Great solution. You're like an RAS MacGyver man. Love the music...that should be your theme song. Fits your vibe well. I'm feeling kind of dizzy for some reason. lol
Steve Carmichael Oh, and my favorite tool is the bandsaw!
Steve I thought it was just me feeling dizzy for some reason...go figure lol
Steve Carmichael thanks Steve i am like Macgyver i can fix anything this is the fist time i added music to a vid since last year and i kinda like this song but am not sure thanks for watching
Hi Patrick. Great dust collection solutuon for that saw. My favorite tool is the router table I recently purchased one and really like how you can do so much with it!
nice. I've got something similar in mind for my chop saw.
Favorite tool is the pliers in the leatherman in my pocket. Use it all teh time everywhere...
otherwise, in the shop, well probably them clamps which are so handy some times...
like it a lot. making one of those.......cheers
Patrick................
Yeah! RAS owners of the world unite! Can I confess? I'm a little bit afraid of mine - how about a vid about tuning up your RAS? (Or did I miss that already.) Great vid mate, love your voice over work.
Nice project ! Looks like it works very well ! Great job, man!
My favorite tool is my table saw, followed by the drill press.
Watching Steve in the background brings up that old song, "Will It Go Round In Circles".... lol
Awesome idea Patrick! My favorite tool is my table saw but I would love to get a RAS one day. I just need to find a good deal and then find some room in my shop! Keep up the good work!
Mike Merzke awesome Mike thanks and a table saw is up on my list to thanks for watching
Great solution Patrick, looks awesome. Once I get my RAS going I'll have to make this too. Thanks for adding to my to do list ;)
Oh, my band saw is my favourite
Cheers
Mark
Great idea, love the spinning Carmichael, hmmm could be a money maker :) Shopsmith for me, love the versatility, just need to get mine working.
Love my ras too. Great idea to bury saw into dust box. Gotta try this.
ShopDawgWoodworking hey this really works great i bet it would work better with a dust collector than a shop vac thanks for watching
