Can a dumb YouTuber outsmart Dewalt?

[@doughills8024]

I purchased a dust collector for my Hercules sliding miter saw and can say with 100% assurance it works way better than the factory offering. Thanks for the efforts to improve dust management.

[@msk3905]

After comparing the Hercules to DW 780 I went Herc route and have been using this thing hard for the last 3 years, fantastic accurate saw with awful dust collection. Like this guy I’m a an engineer who unfortunately cant help but figure out problems, when I got tired of the saw dust flying everywhere I bought a $10 piece of kitchen silicone and cut it to fit the saw and installed….works like a champ! I recently found another KZbinr who did something similar. $10 works fantastic and doesn’t collapse when vac is on like factory setup.

[@christopherdahle9985]

Just ordered one for my DW715. I've been watching your experiments for a while. My own half-vast solution of Cheerios boxes, craft foam, hot melt glue and a lot of duck tape falls apart every couple of weeks. Your elegant solution is well worth the price.

[@stratfanstl]

I'm not much of a "shop" person (more of a coder type) but shop stuff is interesting. What makes me watch this channel is that this is really a Masters curriculum in business / operations / marketing / financial management for the modern high-tech small business entreprenuer. Very well thought out content.

[@MikeObrien-t9c]

I bought one of your dust collection systems for the Bosch axial glide saw. Works great and quality is top notch.

[@nathanestrela2106]

Mine came in two weeks ago and what difference it has made. It’s literally a day and night difference in my shop. My dewalt 780 was the last thing creating uncontrollable dust, but after your upgrade it’s like I barely notice it’s been running. Couldn’t thank you enough.

[@redforeman5205]

Absolute Master class on marketing, behind the scenes, and display of value. Some of the best content I have seen in a while to promote a service or product.

[@TetraCNC]

I have been waiting for you to make one for the 715 since you started. I didn't even wait till the end the video to order this one. Can't wait to use it.

[@harperparks9056]

You saved me from commenting the same exact thing

[@royunderwood7514]

Great job showing a glimpse behind the amount of work put into making something like this.

[@woody1320]

I bought the dust chute for my Bosch 12" axial glide and it was a game changer, worked far better then I expected. Easy to install, super fast shipping, quality product, and very highly recommend it.

[@mtnjak]

Cool to see another maker has tackled the Dewalt miter saw dust collection problem. I started working on a solution about 4 years ago and got side tracked into other projects. Good job!

[@josephadamkovich1887]

Got mine several months ago, installed and it works better than expected...Much thanks!

[@HTBoneD]

I’ve been waiting for this one to come out. I appreciate the time and effort you have done to work on these non-sliding saws. Placed an order today. Can’t wait to improve the quality of my work environment. Thank you sir! Also, as someone who spends every January making sausage, I appreciate the making sausage comment. My dad keeps his recipes in a notebook where nobody knows where it is.

[@Griffinwoodworks]

“Making 💩 just takes time”. Truer words have never been spoken. It’s a plus that your target customers are woodworkers who understand this concept lol. It takes a lot of designing and planning time for me to just to get a project to the point of going to the lumberyard. I can’t imagine planning and preparing for a scale as large as yours Travis.

[@miked4024]

I ordered the dust collector for my DWS782 and it is awesome. Very little dust escaping compared to before. Thanks for your efforts to perfect the “OEM garbage “ dust collection 😆👌

[@williamscott850]

Dude, you've really elevated the production values & quality of your vids. They look great.

[@ShopNation]

Thank you!

[@rapid_kg8514]

​@@ShopNation what filament material is it made with?

[@brucehirsch5437]

The one you're making for the 12" Makita. I need it for the 10" version please.

[@jasonharris972]

I have been on your waitlist for this one. Can’t wait and appreciate your efforts!

[@randyt2500]

Thanks for creating these. I ordered one yesterday as soon as I got your email saying they are ready. And yes, it's hard to be patient when like today I was out in the beautiful weather creating loads of sawdust.

[@OtterBeSwimming]

You are the best, I have always enjoyed Shop Nation, thank you.

[@markemerson5324]

Thanks for sharing your journey. I am currently studying digigal fabrication and can honestly say I look at what you do as an inspiration for what to create and what the true process takes. Love the content and keep it up!

[@chiselandfire]

I purchased one for my DeWalt. Easy to install. I'm thrilled with the results.

[@BrianWhite06]

I've been waiting for this, just purchased one, thank you! Can't wait to test it out.

[@bobp3738]

I can appreciate what goes on behind the scenes, having designed and produced a high tech electronic product for a niche industry. Congratulations! I look forward to using your dust collector!

[@djjoey0812]

Should look into using CPAP hoses instead, they're smooth inside and flexible. Just better, less turbulent airflow. Makes for better suction 😊

[@NickPandolfi-f3x]

I bought the SN adapter for my BOSCH mitre saw un real difference in dust collection.Make sure you have a decent dust collection method. Thanks SN!!!!

[@ehade]

Wow how inspiring you are. Really admire your problem solving abilities, grit and engineering skills. God bless you. Will be ordering for my Bosch miter saw. 👍🙏

[@3DPrintingNerd]

OMG. I was just cutting with my saw last week and the dust was AWFUL. I am going to make sure I have the right model, then dude, it's on!

[@johndorian2670]

Interesting to see a bit more of the product launch process. Now to patiently await the launch of the Makita LS1219L version.

[@kevinthomson6324]

Tha amount of effort and planning you put into these and 2 days in I still haven’t gone to the garage to confirm my saw model before ordering one. Definitely going to get one just need to pause one of the 4 times a day I walk by my miter saw.

[@skynethr-6919]

Since you are making these dust collector options. One very cool idea would be to make a zero clearance plate that closes off the underside portion of the zero clearance plate so dust doesn't collect underneath the saw and improves dust collection even more. And then you can make it a package deal on your site with these attachments. Like figure out how deep the saw blade plunges into the base. Create an enclosure under that has some kind of vent that will direct the dust right back into your dust collector attachment. I'm already a fan of the 780 version.. I bought 2 for my shop. If you ever get to the Milwaukee 7.25" miter saw I would personally buy another dust collector attachment from you.

[@36736fps]

I wish I had seen this earlier. I just spent the last day or two designing, making, redesigning, and remaking a dust chute from the usual carboard and duct tape. Mine works great as long as I don't want to bevel cut. So I ordered yours with the 2 hose adapters.

[@mvot966]

RESPECT for what you do and appreciation for how you do it! Now all I need is your solution to my Hitachi C12RSH dust devil 😢

[@rajakorban8838]

Again awesome video, design, and updates. Still hoping you’ll be able to make one for the DW706 which is a dual bevel 12”.

[@houseoffire72]

I can say this... I am absolutely 110% happy with the dust chute I ordered from you!!! Yes shipping took awhile and yes im not a patient man🤣 BUT... It made it way more exciting to open the box when it arrived..! Although it doesn't collect 100% of the dust I would have to say its damn close depending on the type of cut being made. I work with MDF alot & we all know how nastey the dust is from it. I now have a clean mitersaw station without clouds of dust being shot everywhere. Oh and the Shop Nation sticker included is a great touch. Made me smile.

[@petenelson8136]

Love your channel, and purchased a dust collector for my Hercules miter saw ... it works great!!!

[@stevemarineau8153]

I just installed the dust collector on my DWS715 and it works excellent! You said it doesn't collect it all but for me I think it gets 99% of it. I always had sawdust out the side but this has stopped that cold. Thank you for a product that actually works.

[@mickkoldy1323]

I agree 100 percent.

[@robynbazlen-weglarz7836]

I bought one for my DeWalt sliding compound mitre saw and I have to say that it works wonderfully. If you are considering one, do it and you will not be sorry.

[@srmofoable]

The crazy thing is with these new Miter saws is my 22 year old 10" saw is fantastic with dust collection. The bag is meh, but with a shop vac connected the only dust produced is large chips ejected forward.

[@tek_soup]

WoW Proud of you, wish i felt better and had that kind of energy.

[@davidtowsey9047]

How about design for Ryobi? Many backyard hobbyist use these saw.

[@andrewf.909]

I broke the dist collection on my Ryobi and your shop is the first place I went for a new one. Unfortunately I did not see a Ryobi offering.

[@gregmislick1117]

Ironically I was talking to someone on a FB group 2 days ago about this EXACT thing! Her comment was that you didn’t have a unit for a DeWalt. I then showed her my cardboard. Packing tape, yards price tag, PVC, and painter’s tape masterpiece (we will discuss how and when you got into my shop to pilfer my IP later, I mean, all ya had to do was ask) So now I will tell her that through the power of her positive thinking, or extreme whining, that you have “just whipped one up” and she can dash over and pick one out for her very own. But only after I get one first - your color choices are so much nicer than mine, I simply MUST have one! Thank you !!!!

[@TWiumph]

One of my favorite KZbinrs. Great content with just the right touch of humor. Keep it up!

[@joeprebish7140]

I bought one of your gadgets for my Dewalt saw. It fit funny and contacted the blade. Just drilled one mounting hole a tad larger and that thing works great! I’d bet 97 maybe 98% of dust collected. Thank you.

[@MidnightMaker]

Wow! This was an unexpectedly informative experience. Ironically, I just put a DW715 in my Amazon shopping cart last night.

[@CheveeDodd]

Ordered it the moment it became available and I can't wait to get it on my saw!

[@JCWren]

Any market for doing one for a DW708? I'd be happy to buy one and do any fitment testing you need.

[@Erik_The_Viking]

Yeah me too.

[@peterbarlow8912]

Planning to buy the Bosch 12 device. Love to see one made for my old DW708. Hooking a vac to its bag port does almost nothing.

[@jasonbailey9139]

Love that the before picture is with the factory's dust collection already removed...because I'm guessing you threw it away after your first prototype worked. Anyway, it doesn't do that much better than what you showed, so we're good. Gotta go see if you have something for a Hitachi sliding miter....

[@andrewsilvia7773]

Like your 16x12 Camphouse, do you ever plan on doing any smaller building plans in the 12x8 range, like a Coop? I plan on milling rough cut lumber so it would be cool if it had some detail like your Camphouse, just curious. Great channel just found it

[@TeoHarlan]

really cool stuff, first video of yours I've watched but you got a subscriber!

[@Cooper_42]

As someone who spent years involved in initially the design and prototyping of computers and consumer electronics, and then in the manufacturing of said products… Amen brother!

[@michaelmccain5660]

Congratz on your venture - much luck to you!

[@JFKreations]

I wonder if redesigning the blade guard and integrating dust collection into that would be another improvement. Similar to a table saw blade guard hood with dust collection. Travis, I challenge thee to experiment.

[@guybowers9094]

Lots of planning and prep work to create a product from scratch for sure. I need to check your line to see if you have one that will fit my Bosch 12 inch slider, which I think would be a great help for it

[@retiredusmc9090]

I do not have my miter saw purchased or selected yet, but when I do you can bet I will buy a dust collection adapter from Shop Nation's selection.

[@spsully2582]

I would buy one that he makes already. First, its ready to buy. Second he started with the better saws. If budget doesnt allow then thats unavoidable, but I would lean towards those.

[@4961Studebaker]

Hope all the work pays off. Just imagine if you had gone down the road of magnetic ratchet, socket, wrench, organization! Infinite sizes, colors types etc. (quality out there is all over the map too). Keep up the shop greatness standard.

[@johndoe6032]

Nice work. Hope you sell a lot. I wish you made one for my cheap 10" Ryobi sa.

[@josephs2581]

any chance you might design something for Metabo's mitre saws? Specifically the C10FCGSM ? I know it's an inexpensive saw, but it's my first and other than dust management it's perfect for my small shop 😢 awesome content - good luck with the new shop project ❤

[@kurtopalka5201]

I bought the one for my delta cruder and absolutely love it! If you need testers let me know 😉

[@GeneTakae]

Very interesting video! Hoping that you sell a ton of these!❤

[@danhelfgott5225]

Moooooooom!!! Travis made a beer bong!!!

[@bigsabertoothbunny5986]

I got your dust attachment for the DeWalt DW735, love it. Can I maybe suggest a new journey to design? Lathe dust control, maybe starting at the midi-lathe sized (14x20ish) dust collection. Many have tried, all have failed. Rockler has the "best" option on the market and it is subpar but better tha nothing. I happily volunteer myself as a test subject for a journey to create useful dust collection for lathes. Yes, it would help with wood but with hybrid and resin turning especially.

[@tractortinkerer11]

Have you experimented with the 12" Ridgid Compound miter saws yet? Great video.

[@ShopNation]

Yes for the newest one and I’m working On the R4222

[@natecowie1104]

Did I see a Metabo in the background? I will gladly buy a Metabo version if you get it done! I love my saw but the dust collection is definitely sub par!

[@travellingidiots8755]

not in the market for this but liked your video about the process! like you said, Making shit takes time!

[@dustinroberson1865]

On a sliding miter saw, it makes sense for the dust collection to be on the arm to follow the blade, but on a non sliding how well would it work having the dust collection on the base aiming up at the saw? Maybe still have a small shield on the arm to prevent the saw dust from shooting up and over the back of the saw. I wonder if it would eliminate some of the dust that makes its way under the saw. I may have to mock up one and see how it works

[@MJLWoodWorks]

Hey Travis, I recently purchased the DWS779/780 dust collection system. If this works nearly as well as the one I purchased, then it will be another winner and make a lot of people happy. Keep up the greatness!

[@bobdean150]

It would be interesting to see one of you commentary videos about product development while there are already other products established. How does that work get scheduled? Whats the impact in design time? Is it easier mentally to do a new product with income coming in?

[@fortunateson6070]

I have one of these, I bought it to cut through my foundation cause it fit a 12 inch blade, kinda crazy I was able to cut a 2x3ft hole in my foundation with it.

[@kimjones3436]

received my Shop Nation dust collection unit for the DeWalt 778 a few weeks ago AND... Awesome! k.jones

[@A-A-RON81]

One trade off here is that you have to remove the dust collection add on to be able to remove the blade. So factor that extra time in when choosing this type of product, worth it for me but not advertised!!!

[@mystixa]

Focus group testing should go before mass manufacture in case theres basic changes that need to be made to the design.

[@Wiggles4life]

I’ve bought It for the dewalt. Fantastic product.

[@richardh6964]

Do you know anything about the DW705? I am tempted to get a DW715 one and see if it can be adapted to fit.

[@stephenzello3519]

I asked about trying the 715 on the 705 … no reply.

[@mard2212]

This thing is awesome. It works!!!

[@corythomas909]

Love the content and products you’re putting out! Just curious, if you’re going to be releasing your yearly channel revenue breakdown video?

[@Travisrogers87]

Fantastic video! Question about this design - at 7:54 in the “before” shot, you can see the small cut piece fly off unobstructed behind the saw, and at 7:58 in the “after” it gets sorta jammed up by the new dust hood. Could it be a safety concern that there’s now no clear ejection path for small cut fragments to disperse? Or even if not safety, they could bounce back, get under the blade and mess up your current cut, cause quality issues, etc?

[@lermallama]

Are you considering any RYOBI miter saws for future dust collection adapters?

[@scoop-pm7lk]

hope to have an indoor shop someday it sucks workin on projects out in the cold MN winters

[@michaeljaywall8159]

Thank you for the knowledge you provided in your video. I also have a product that I have been working on for 6 years. And needed some help with getting ready for launching it. I would like to talk to you about how to do it. Thanks again.

[@SerendipitousProducts]

I have all these same issue but for my Soap business. lol. Great video. One thing what do you do with the printers you no longer use or swap out?

[@donwight5806]

Have you considered an injection modeled part house? Have you tried vacuum formed parts? Either o those have been able to drive larger markets without tying all of the printers. Love the content . My miter saw is an LS1013 compound sliding so not ordering yet! Love you work. I just saw this after doing reviews of my engineering team, Good stuff.

[@dustingomez7590]

Oh the gripping nostalgia of Dewalt tools…I remember when I was a beginner

[@stephenzello3519]

I have DW705 also, I saw that someone else in the comments has one too. Will the DW715 version work for the DW705? Thanks!

[@EliotHochberg]

Seems like a good product, but I noticed that there’s still sawdust that gets out. Which makes me wonder, could you make a table that deals with this? Like sort of the inverse of an air hockey table? Maybe an air hockey table would do it. But anyway,what if your table had holes in it and then under the table there was negative air pressure not quite as strong as a vacuum that would pull the sawdust down underneath and then collect it?

[@meikgeik]

Small tip: If you're trying to thwart the idea stealing snakes, make sure your Bambulab printers are not connected to a network as they upload the gcode for every print to Bambulabs if they have the ability to talk to the internet. 3D Musketeers just did a video about this. Bambu have claimed multiple times that they do not collect gcode files, but the printers upload logs for every print you do that contains gcode files regardless of if you opted out of the data collection program or not. If they're lying about that, what else are they lying about? Stick to the prusas IMO.

[@Ender_Wiggin03]

I don't have a Dewalt miter saw, but I wish I had one of these for my Skil (was from my father).

[@cursedvoid]

i would love a podcast of you and slant 3d just talking print farm stuff.

[@JG2HTT]

Do you make a dust collection version for the harbor freight Hercules brand miter saw?

[@Dunechsr]

Do you Chute for DW705 available?

[@glockguide]

Did you shoot all of the narrative parts in front of the green screen or did you shoot narrative both w/green and in the shop? It looks great either way!

[@ShopNation]

Green screen was only used for a short bit where I appeared over footage of myself, all of the talking head parts were shot in the main shop area

[@mrgcav]

Great Video. More info on starting a Printing farm please.

[@bigmatty50]

Hey Travis. great video. In your video you had a picture of the plywood cart (5:19 on video), but I can't find plans for it in your shop. Do you still sell the plans for that?

[@ChristopherPhillipsDev]

I wonder, over a fair time period, how much it would cost to go through a plastic injection shop to make you a bunch. Of course the tooling would be quite pricey but the throughput with that is far quicker than 3d printers.

[@geraldstephens8791]

I don't even own a Dewalt and I want to give this guy money for vac setup. Good guy.

[@Aaarbakke]

Great stuff! Definitely not a dumb youtuber!

[@Arkaynen]

I just went to my shop to check the model of my DeWalt, hoping I could order one of these. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered I have a 713. ...is it weird that I kinda want to buy a saw that will support a Shop Nation dust chute?

[@hanslain9729]

Thanks for this insight! Great content man.

[@shilohglasgow2343]

I’m waiting for when u make the dust collector for Skil Dual Bevel Miter Saw MS6305-00
