The Genius Miter Saw Insert That Doubles as Dust Collection

[@InspireWoodcraft]

FOR THOSE WITH 3D PRINTERS: We finally have the STL files listed on the website! You'll get the STL files for all parts, including the replacement bracket, plus instructions. If you do happen to purchase them, any feedback would be greatly appreciated! inspirewoodcraft.com/product-category/shop/

[@robertrobinson3597]

I believe you have finally solved the Sawdust collection problem for Mitre Saws. Congratulations for thinking out of the box! I would like to do a similar solution for my older Makita LS1013L !0 inch mitre saw. I have been fighting the sawdust problem for years, with some successes here & there. I won't bore you with the details as you have demonstrated enough mistakes yourself. You have learned from them & that's what is most important that's what mistakes are for. Currently I have a 4 in diameter feed to all but one of my machines, ( Mitre Saw) which is connected to a collector with 2 micron filter. The Mitre saw resides in an enclosure which captures about 80 % of the dust. It is set up for the ducting to be added, BUT even if I can get 90% It just wasn't worth the trouble to run that Line. I have watched at leased a dozen Videos with great ideas that almost worked. Finnaly you solved the problem, I believe. Of course the geometry that fits the Dewalt saws almost certainly won't fit my Makita. But innovation doesn't have to stop here. I will purchase one of your gizmos and study it for the appropriate mods. It might just work for me. Those crafty Japanese figured out how th put the curf in the center of the insert on the Makita!

[@MikeCaskey]

Agreed. Let's get this going for Makita saws

[@PHIL_S]

I come to your channel because you either teach me something new or solve a problem - and most the time you accomplish both - well done and I hope these sell well for you.

[@james.a]

I like how the boot bends and gets wider as you push down the saw blade. Makes it even more likely to catch the saw dust. Great work!

[@jodilea144]

I love seeing what people design and 3D print to solve issues such as this. Great job, Jody! I hope you sell tons of them! 🙂

[@mxgonzy10]

Glad to see punching holes through it and screwing it in wasn’t just my idea! When I bought my dust collection sleeve thing, I didn’t realize I had a DWS not a DW, like you pointed out in the video. Will be buying the zero clearance because I love the upgrade and I want to support you and your wife!

[@TylerDaily-p2v]

I've been looking at several videos for solutions to the dust collection on the DWS779. While a slightly different model, it seems like you have the best solution I've found! Excited for you to put out a model for the 779, I'll be ordering both the shroud and insert!

[@f.kieranfinney457]

Ditto. The big saw is more likely to be stationary and therefore benefit from proper dust collection.

[@clemoniii]

Jody, I hope you two make an insane fortune on these inventions! You certainly deserve it! As always, thank you for ALL your inspiration and education!

[@doug.ritson]

Exactly the comment I wanted to leave. I think you have a great solution priced reasonably. Keeping going brother.

[@bullfrogpondshop3179]

Excellent work, as always! Very much looking forward to the dust collection on the 779!

[@scottyoungblood5148]

I just discovered your channel and its Excellent!! Ive been a general contractor for years and I have to say, you have a great formula as to your presentations. Super informative without showing all the minutiae! I appreciate what you do! Thank you!

[@frankiepezzolla]

I find it amazing that Dewalt has paid engineers to figure all this out, but the talented woodworker guy nailed it with little thought. Much respect brother, Dewalt should sponsor or higher you.

[@nbgambler]

Love the design, happily and patiently waiting for the dws780!

[@beechwoodchip8045]

I installed the insert and dust collector boot on my old DW715. It fit perfectly and works better than I expected. I used an inexpensive small Stanley shop vac with a 1.25" hose. I've been fighting with dust collection on my miter saw for years. I've tried several different DIY solutions, and spent far too much time and effort on it. This is the best solution I've tried, and the easiest! BTW, I'm not affiliated or compensated in any way, just a happy customer.

[@redscortgt93]

Did you get the insert for the DW 716 to fit in the 715?

[@marc82much]

I bought everything needed to put this on my new Dewalt DWS716. All I can say, is WOW! This design is unbelievable good at mitigating dust. 100%? No. But, close enough. My old saw (I sold it so I could buy this and the InspireWoodcraft parts to put on it) spewed dust everywhere. I am actually allergic to some woods and I have asthma. So this is a fantastic solution. If you have a saw this setup fits, run, don't walk, and order all this stuff RIGHT NOW! You will be thankful.

[@waynemiller6070]

I almost want to order one just to support the amount of work that you put into creating it. Nice job on the video.

[@therealknightrider]

I gave your solution a try. It really works! I’d say 95% or more of the dust captured. I’m so glad I stumbled upon this video. Thank you.

[@ifixbones]

Appreciate all that you have done so far. I will sit tight waiting for you to tackle the DEWALT 779!

[@meghanihamid]

You have just taught me how to gain from a common problem. In your earlier episodes I have observed you look for new ways to solve woodworking problems like eliminating the need for a jig. However this time you have shown me your entrepreneurship and I am highly impressed by you. Well done.

[@Malba1776]

Hey bro is everything ok with u ? In my eyes u have some of the most creative, yet simply explained projects n tips. Hope u r well n look forward to watching a new video soon

[@salomonmiller2061]

Just thought the same! All the best from Austria

[@fcschoenthal]

Huge market right now for dust collection on miter saws, but SOOO many different models. Don't understand why when you did a good job in the video explaining how and why they are different, but see that you're still getting fitment questions. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the 779/780 models. - Chris

[@deek3048]

I have a DWS780 compound saw. The one with the long tube in the back that people hate when they don't have a vacuum system. Dust still goes all over. Would be nice to find a better way but I don't think your system will benefit this model. I've tried to increase the "catcher' with rubber from innertubes but am only partly successful. Needs a better design. Your videos should be the standard for YT. Clear shots and concise info! Keep up the good work!

[@kevincederberg2442]

I have the same saw and was hoping there would be a "fix" for catching all the chips and dust.

[@KenCharlesTheGreat]

Nice job, 3D printers are such a game changer in the world of shop mods !

[@clutteredchicagogarage2720]

Great work! This is probably the best miter saw dust collection solution that I've seen on KZbin. I don't have a Dewalt miter saw, but I'll try to replicate something similar for my cheap Ryobi miter saw at some point. I haven't used my 3D printer in a couple years, and I need to clean it up and tune it up after a move, but I do think that 3D printing is probably the best way to DIY this kind of bottom dust catching system for a miter saw.

[@Itslvle]

Simple but effective. Makes for less problems with it's simplicity and reduces cost. I hope you get a good solution for the 780 as well and ship to Europe. I would like to support a great guy with great inventions like that.

[@christianhull7999]

I apologize if it’s been asked before, but if you bevel the saw, wouldn’t it cut through the bottom dust collection?

[@jewdd1989]

I don’t have either mitre saw but the piece that fits in for the zero clearance insert… amazing invention! All of it is ingenious and if I had one of these mitre saws I’d absolutely buy it! I always worry dewalt and other brands will steal these solutions, they should hire you!!!

[@EricMeyerweb]

Nicely done! Regarding the backlog, perhaps consider selling the 3D files separately from the physical products. That way people who already have 3D printers can print their own and not clog your production pipeline.

[@jasonjames8555]

Personally, I'd love this. Gladly pay for your STL!

[@jodilea144]

Great suggestion!

Thank you for doing this. Having decent dust collection on my miter saw would be great. Looking forward to the solution for the next model.

ROSSEAU 0DUST HOOD

[@extremewoodworker]

The insert looks similar to the Colliflower insert which is a good design. The below insert chute looks like a viable dust collection solution until you have to bevel the blade to an angle other than 90 degrees. If there is sufficient room to make the chute wider, it could possibly work for all saw positions. Steve

[@alanborack9256]

Your videos are a gift to the weekend/retiree who likes to tinker with woodworking.....I cannot wait for the Dust Collection System for the DWS 779/780. The saw is awesome but what a mess it makes even with a hood I have for it. After cutting up a few pieces, I have to take my shop vac and clean up in/around/under the saw which sits on a miter stand I bought with the saw.

[@JeremyP-121]

Genius again. I have the DWS779 and I am going to make one of these. And do the silicone mat trick as well. Thank you so much!

@@InspireWoodcraft ah cool. I just looked. It was a bit tricky to find on your site. I understand it’s new but I looked under dust collection and it wasn’t there. You should have it listed in both spots. Also. I see the kit has a lot of pieces but the orange part was not included. If you’re selling a kit for the saw just include that too. It’s not like people are going to already have one half of the solution for this saw and thus not want it. We want it.

[@InspireWoodcraft]

@@JeremyP-121 Actually it's the first thing shown as soon as you go to the website. Maybe we made it TOO easy! Ha! The orange pieces were needed for certain photo video reasons, but they are prototypes and not ready for market. A lot of folks already have those types of setups though, as other makers have been designing/making them for some time now. I always recommend Shop Nation and Benchtop Woodworks to folks when they ask if I have anything. So essentially, this kit is meant to make those aftermarket units that much better!

[@JeremyP-121]

@@InspireWoodcraft ah I see now. It is on the home page of the web site. But since this video is about the 716, the link to it in the description goes to the 716.

I just installed the bracket, the boot, and the zero clearance throat plate on my new DWS716. Your dust collection system was the deciding factor on my going with this saw over another brand. For less than a hundred bucks I solved the last big frustration in my shop. I hope Dewalt teams up with you on this - or at least sends you a big fat thank you.

[@tonydavis6487]

This is a portable construction miter saw, mainly meant to be used outdoors on construction sites. The priority isn't really collecting 100% of the dust to appease woodworkers using it in their shops. 🤷‍♂ Although, it would be nice if they made an effort to collect a little more dust.

I have the Makita 10" miter saw, and like just about every other miter saw on the planet, the dust collection is terrible. I'm going to see if I can come up with a throat plate for it similar to yours. It already has a soft shroud behind the blade, but it doesn't seem to work particularly well (maybe my dust collection system isn't moving enough air?), so I'm going to see if I can improve that, too. Thanks for this video; it's given me some ideas!

[@oldcarguy76]

What happened to the pocket on the bottom when you do a beveled cut? Is the pocket wide enough to account for that?

[@mollyrockers2401]

Very impressed but I find with my Festool Kapex the main problem is when using the fence, which you were not, and if also cutting stock that is even higher than the machine’s fence. To avoid tearout you then double side tape on a sacrificial wooden supplementary fence, this then totally messes up the effectiveness of the main silicone dust collection shute ! = everything is covered in dust. I admire your efforts in addressing the problem though and wish you well. Sheffield UK.

That insert is a great idea especially with the replaceable piece that can slide in or out. I have the DWS782 and made an insert out of wood that goes all the way into the cavity so it does the same thing as yours. Problem with mine is, if I get a blade with a different kerf then it might ruin the zero clearance part. I still need to figure out dust collection with mine. The box I have built around it is almost like a shed. It's too big.

[@andreecaron3061]

Haven't seen the question asked, and very late to the game here, but why are the boot (and the one that came with) made to go up and down with the blade instead of being stationary behind the cutting space (as it is when the blade is fully embedded when the cut is clean through). Wouldn't that make it all simpler? I'm probably forgetting a detail as to why that wouldn't work 😅. I'm loving your channel and just spent my day watching (pain day so nothing else to do), and I can't wait to make some zero clearance plates for my miter saw now 😂
