Dust Collector

2008-01-26
Installs in seconds, easy to install, works well and easy to empty. Another good purchase for an awesome tablesaw. Great purchase and have no regrets.

Don't waste your money.

Would get the same results if I tied on an old sock to the dust chute.
Quickly clogs and becomes ineffective. Use a Vac or dust collector instead.

works well for what it is

For what is is, it works well. Bag will clog if cutting wet material. bag lays on ground, so if ground is wet, it's a mess. There is no suction, so sawdust still comes up from blade, therefore material will get sawdust on it, therefore sawdust will get on the ground. I don't know where to store this thing, so now when I need it, I'm looking all over the place for it.
2 1/2" shop vac hose slides right onto saw. It is the better choice. I use a foot switch christmas tree extension cord so I can turn vacum on and off with ease.

looks are decieveing!!

the picture looks good but the performance is disapointing !! it does catch some saw dust but the rest ends up on floor and in your face!! with the bag on ,the back pressure from the bag over the exhaust forces the dust around the blade guard and up !! through the table plate and into your face !!! wear eye protection ! better off investing the money in a vacuum system or a hose connector for my Jet-dust system ?

Works as stated, but a shop vac is better!

The product is exactly as discribed, but i realized my hop vac fits there too (nice job Bosch). So I have never used the bag. If you don't have a standard shop vac, well worth the money to help keep things clean.

minimize the saw dust in the shop...

simple to install and pretty effective. The only draw back is that slivers of scap wood can easily block the "sawdust tunnel" that feeds the dust into the catcher. Empties easily.

The only dust bag I never have to empty!

I was really hoping this bag would help collect some of my sawdust. After a week of using it about two inches of dust has accumulated in the bag. Actually most of the dust blows out of every other opening in my bosch saw. The bag seems to catch bigger shavings. I have not been sawing any MDF or fine dust producing materials so it may help more with those. The problems seems that all the shavings keep clogging up in my dust port. On the plus side the bag has a squeeze clamp on it so it will work on just about anything.

Get a Vacuum

This device does work, but it clogs up really easily-thus creating tons of blow back from the kerf plate. I used it a few times then retired it. Vacuum or dust pile is the way I roll.

fits dewalt 745

lets face it - it is not a vacuum but it helps. it collects a fair amount of dust from my Dewalt 745. for the price it does alot - i put it on everytime i use my saw since it just makes cleaning up a little easier.

Helps a little with sawdust mess

2008-02-06
Ideal for places where you can't hook up a shop vac, though it really doesn't help all that much with the mess the saw makes. My 4000-09 saw blows sawdust everywhere, it seems about 50% actually gets to the exhaust port, regardless of what type of material I'm cutting. The bag catches some of it, but not a lot.

The biggest drawback to the bag is its length. It might seem great for holding lots of dust before needing to be emptied, but it's so long it gets caught in the wheel of the Bosch gravity rise stand. It can be left on if it's rotated 180 degrees at the dust port, but if you forget to flip it back over it won't catch any dust at all.
