RJC October 19, 2009 Randall J. Childers (Atlanta, GA USA) This dust collection bag captured a good portion of the sawdust, but creates too much resistance to airflow, causing sawdust to blow back in your face. I had to take it off. Disappointing.
Just a Bag September 13, 2009 S. Beck Thought I would give this bag a try as I was purchasing a few other items on Amazon and take advantage of the free shipping offer. The Bosch table saw that the bag attaches to is great, the bag is not! When ripping a 2 X 4 the chips just plug up in the bottom of the saw as there is not enough flow into the bag. The bag also plugged up at the next job when I was just doing general cross cut work in poplar and oak. Probably need to purchase one of those canister type dust collectors. Save your money and dont buy this Bosch accessory.
ok for the money July 18, 2009 Phil Loubere (san jose, ca usa) For the cost of this bag, you're not going to get a dustless system. It certainly doesn't collect all sawdust, but it catches a good part of it. I found after a few dozen cuts the bag filled up, but there was plenty more dust under and all around the saw base. But what the bag caught was that much less for me to vacuum, so I'm happy with that.
The problem lies more with the Bosch tablesaw, which doesn't direct all the dust down the chute - for that to happen, the saw would need a major redesign. The current design simply has a channel under the blade leading to the chute in back, but it's open, so the spinning blade kicks dust in every direction, not just down the channel and chute.
I found that the blade I was using made some difference too - a 40-tooth blade sent more dust down the chute and into the bag than an 80-tooth blade. The latter probably makes finer dust, more prone to being scattered.
PJM Carpentry May 17, 2009 Mucow (West Hills, CA United States) Super solution to a nagging problem!! I found this dust collector just right for my contractor saw. I am usually working in homes for remodeling and this dust collector makes end-of-day clean up a lot easier. The zipper bag is easy to empty and the volume is just right for a days work. Can't find any fault with this item - wish I would have known about it sooner.
Does what it's designed to do. April 21, 2009 J. Hirsbrunner (Castle Rock, CO) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Here's the deal, this is a table saw. It makes sawdust. The hole on the back by the power cord is a sawdust exhaust port. If you have a dust collector, by all means plug a vacuum hose into that port and it may even collect all the dust. I do not have a dust collector, this means the exhaust port throws sawdust a good 7 feet or so out the back of the saw. Adding this collector bag now means I only have to sweep up directly under the saw, not under the saw and an arc 7 feet out away from the saw. To me it's absolutely worth it, but it won't replace a several hundred or thousand dollar dust collection system.
