thank you for the video, I have only just come accross. Do you know if your adaptation for the DWS780 will fit the DWS727?

I installed the dust collection on my DeWalt 780 and what a difference it made, thank you for helping us control dust in our shops and lungs

I'm not sure what your intent was when you started your channel or if becoming the "dust collection guy" was always the plan, but this is definitely pretty cool. I love that you're using engineering to solve everyday problems. I can appreciate the hard work that goes into all of this.

Lol! Making money off of Dewalts screwups. Gotta love it.😄

Hey Travis, I’ve been a silent bystander to your videos, but a long time subscriber. The way you explain things is more than excellent for hobbyist woodworkers/shop nation folks like me. I remember one of your early videos about the WEN air filter. It was early on, but it made me feel like a human being, if that makes sense. The way you’re so honest and transparent about your content is so refreshing. You’re videos are some serious motivation to me and my shop, and I will always support your 3D printed doo dads and gizmos that makes our lives easier. Thanks Travis, keep in keeping on!

I ordered Travis's dust collection system for my Bosch 12" axial glide saw and the difference is ASTOUNDING. Worth every penny. Thank you Travis for applying your considerable engineering skills to solving this serious problem for all of us.

YOU ARE THE MAN!!! I just spent 2 hours watching YT videos trying to figure out how to solve my miter saws dusting issues. Imagine my excitement when I got the end of THIS video and realized you started to mention Hercules miter saws from Harbor Freight. I literally RAN to check my model number and felt like a kid on Christmas morning again when the model numbers matched!! I just ordered TWO units for the HE74! Now I'll be watching the camera's for delivery notifications daily to unwrap this present. Literally made my day / week / month / year!!!! THANK YOU for all the efforts you put into this! So worth it! You have no idea how many projects I've delayed because of the miter saw dust mess I knew would come with them. Cannot thank you enough!!!

Just installed this on my 780 and yes the dust collection is greatly improved. TY for doing this and TY for your engineering brain to do these for our saws. Money well spent.

Just completed installation. Cheers, my friend. Easy install + major improvement = mission accomplished Another step in the direction of achieving shop greatness.

Another awesome job Travis! Your 3D design skills are amazing dude! Love these dust collection series 🤜🏻🤛🏻

I bought the Hercules saw about a year and a half ago. Works just like the DeWalt, no issues, and I particularly like the LED for cut alignment. My only complaint was the dust which also is just like the DeWalt. I just placed an order for your dust collection improvement. Can’t wait until it’s ready! Thanks for your due diligence on making miter saws better!

I don't own any of these saws but I really enjoy seeing the whole design process. Definitely makes you appreciate the effort that went into the final product. Great work!

Thanks for improving the dust collection of all our miter saws. Keep up the good work.

Awesome video! I am really impressed with your logic and problem solving ability, nice job. Your 3D CAD skills are just icing on the cake. Keep up the Shop Greatness!

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.

Yes! Thank you so much for dedicating your time to this saw. My pre-order is done and I can't wait to get this thing hooked up. My 'dust anxiety' appreciates it.

I started watching and listening to your video. Within seconds I absolutely loved it. The way you describe or show the faults in chop saws had me hooked. You even have the “ guy shop talk “. Excellent stuff my good fellow. Love it. From Canada.

Thanks Travis! Looking forward to getting this on my saw. Love the saw - lots of power, but the lack of dust collection makes using it such a chore.

Already pre ordered for my Hercules. Glad to hear how impressed you were about this saw. All the features of the 780 including the shadow line, at a price less than the 779. I did a lot of research, including the KZread kind before buying mine, and I have absolutely no regrets. I would love to see a comparison video to see if you agree. Keep up the great content Travis!

Very excited to see that you made one for the Hercules saw. Can not wait to see it in action. Thanks Travis!

I’ve watched your videos often. Going back several times. I m just setting up my dedicated work shop. Building my miter station and realized how deep my cabinets have to be because of my sliding dwalt. This is going to work out great. Ordered.

I have had this saw for years and definitely struggled with the dust! Especially with my interior jobs! I have been waiting for this video! I pre-ordered mine!!!

Hello ShopNation. I added this to my Dewalt DW718 and see significant improvement in dust collection. Thanks for solving the puzzle. My lungs thak you.

Had to order it. Added all the additional options. This will help a ton in my garage. Thanks Shop Nation!

Got mine the other day, fairly easy to install, and works AMAZING, especially compared to stock dust collection. Thanks!!

I got your dust collector for the Ridgid saw, it turned it into something I hated to use into a joy to use...awesome.

There isn’t another video that I have anticipated more than this one! I’ve tirelessly checked your Etsy for this very item on several occasions hoping it would be there one day. And alas…it’s here! Thank you so much for this! Heading over to order one immediately! A comparison video of the Dewalt vs Hercules would be awesome to see and hear your thoughts. Thanks again!

Great Video. I been waiting for something like this for over a year. Ordering one right away. Thanks for your research and getting it designed

It's really interesting seeing you go through design process and all the factors for consideration for the se dust collection mods! 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. Keep up the Greatness!

I have a 12” Metabo HPT. Don’t know if that’s on your list at, but it would certainly peak my interest if on your list of future projects.

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!

I love to see the design process behind these things! It's neat to see how both you and Jody over at Inspire Woodcraft are approaching these problems totally differently. I have the Bosch saw, and will totally be picking up one of your attachments once I have a dedicated extractor set up for it.

Will be ordering shortly!

Love the thought process and your breakdown of your engineering skills to improve a huge oversight by manufacturers. I'm looking forward to it's arrival. PS the same level of design and execution went into your sliding stop block as well, it works great! 👍

Thank You..I have been watching all your dust collection videos. I NOW can order a collection chute for my saw.. Keep up the good work!!

Another great product Travis and great product. Still hoping for one for my Ridgid R4222 can’t wait to see what you do next always great videos.

Thank you for putting in the work! And thank you for also selling the STL files. I just put in my order for both - one to support you and one to support my inevitable need to tinker and iterate. I’ve seen other designs that also try to pull from below using a zero clearance cover. I’m just diving in to explore if you’ve gone down that Bernoulli’s hole. Anyway, thank you again. Best, -Carlos, an OH transplant in TN

You’re the man. Just installed this on my Hercules and it works great, I even removed the huge Rosseau 5000 after installing this because I don’t need it now. Thank you

Thank you for doing this, ordered right after watching. Have had the Hercules miter saw for a while and it's a great budget saw. Would love to see you put it up to a head to head test.

Keep up the great work! I will have to get one of these ordered!

I just ordered one. Thanks so much for doing this. I love my miter saw, but I dread using it because it makes such a ridiculous mess. Also great idea on relocating the dust extraction port to save space.

Ordered. Thanks for solving a problem I have had with this saw since I bought it.

Thank you for working on this model. I pre-ordered and hope your design works. I've purchased other products from you with great results and hope this lives up to your standards.

I just received mine in the mail today and I already installed it. I have to say, I was a bit skeptical about how well it would work. Let me say, this works amazing! DON'T WAIT, order it! It's that great! Keep up the good work!

Glad you did the Hercules also!

Hola! 🖐I really enjoy your videos showing all of the study and research you put into these designs. Even for someone like me who will NEVER endeavor into anything even remotely close to a project like that, not only do I find it interesting but I feel like I learn something new. I feel it gives me perspective as to how to look at a particular challenge or obstacle and think things through a little before smacking it with a hammer or taking a saw to it hahaha! Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊

Worth every penny. easy peasy and what a difference. Worth the wait, mine came pretty quick. Shipped to Canada hassle free everything was included including extra parts. Well thought out design. Very happy!!

it's amazing how many great products can be birthed from just someone trying to fix an issue in their home shop. Thanks for putting all the effort into this and sharing it with the community! 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?

Great work, Travis. I’ve learned so much from your channel! I’d buy one for a MAKITA LS1019L if you made one.

The fact that you took the time to develop one of these for the Hercules saw is epic to me, I just ordered one. My Hercules has worked great for me over the last 2 years. I've been using the Rosseau 8000 which has worked but wasn't great, using this along with the R8000 should really improve my dust collection.

Ordered it. Thanks, been waiting to solve this issue with my saw.

Great design work! I hope you’re able to integrate the new feature about the blade binding the scrap into your other designs… I need to get the Bosch one for my saw

Thank you for putting in the work on this solution Travis!!! I already got mine ordered from you. Cant wait to receive it. The Dewalt is a 'dust hog'! May I also mention the space saved behind the saw where the old chute was. Adding a dust collection hose extended an already deep saw even more. All that's gone with your design!

Brilliant man! I obviously I was concerned about dust collection and I found a solution! I know you said it’s not perfect but is better than what I could come up with for sure!

Definitely need to do the Makita saw next please!

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.

Hercules saw has been unbelievable for me. Never thought harbor freight would gain my trust, but those perfect buttery cuts changed my mind. Looking into the blue dust collection piece you created. Great stuff👍🏼

Although I have gotten out of wood working due to life and other hobbies, I still love your channel and all that you put out.

I love my Hercules miter saw. Thanks Travis

I have the cordless baby brother and I must say, the dust collection is awesome. It probably has to do with the power and size of the saw but have always been impressed. The ct 26 is enough to make it great but now I put all three motors on my Camvac and the dust is almost none existent

Good job I really like what you have done with the miter saw dust collection. The12" Makita miter saw would be a good one to develop or work on next.

Great job! I’d love to see you tackle the Makita 1019L next.

Well done! Hope it pays off.

Just pre ordered a DeWalt sucker upper adaptor. Thx bro

I think I’ve commented on every dust collection video that’s I’ve been waiting for this one. Placed my order just now, can’t wait to set this up next month! Thanks for all your hard work putting it together.

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.

Awesome!! Any chance one may be available for the Hitachi C12RSH in the future?

I have mine on the folding base and will drag it outside to make cuts because of the dust kickup. I have a smaller 10" saw that I use in the shop that I hook up to a vac to catch the majority of the dust it makes.

Great job! Do a video on the Hercules! It's a great saw!

Was hoping you’d make one after your other videos. Ordered!!!!

Travis have your Bosh dust collector on my saw. Does a great job. Thanks. Have to take a look at the Hercules saw.

Gonna have your own storefronts soon with all these upgrades!

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.

I’ve been using this for about a week, and seeing the results in person have been jaw dropping. Installation was a breeze and I can’t recommend it enough. I used to avoid using my miter saw at all in my garage shop and now I don’t mind at all.

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

Definitely do a comparison video!

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.

I just ordered the dust collection device for my Dewalt 12" double compound sliding saw. Youre awsome bro!! let you know how that goes once I start to use it

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.

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.

A. I am impressed. B. I like your approach. C. Have you thought about using bellows or folding vinyl skirting on the sides? This could be silicone sheets too.

Can’t wait to get mine!

I respect your dedication to a project. You significantly improved this. However, my biggest thanks is for making it clear that this is not a great saw for a shop.

Great job Travis! A lot of work, so from all us thanks. Could you look at the Makita saws specifically the LS1219L. It would be interesting once you get done with the most popular saws in a review of which saw does the best with your dust chutes installed.

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!!

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!

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.

@ajvc2233

Dewalt has a cordless shop vac if you are already in their line. I would highly recommend that over the dust bag.

As fellow former mechanical engineers, we appreciate your attention to detail and design skills! Our saw is the Makita LS1019L - looks like you have the 12" version of this saw covered, any plans for the 10"?

Great video man I am currently looking at getting the dewalt and when that happens I will definitely be ordering one ❤❤

great video, now lets get that Milwaukee 12" miter dust collection going.

Metabo HPT C10FCH2S would be a great addition. Metabo HPT needs some love. It’s the forgotten trooper.

Gotta say, that's a significant improvement. Also, you should do a series on F360 modeling. Your workflows etc. You know...because you have so much time on your hands now! 😁

Travis, great video & product development! If you ever can design one for the DW717, that would greatly be appreciated!
