Miter saw dust collection

Those would definitely get more dust than a stock setup. But will they work with a zero clearance fence? It doesn't look like there's room for both.

I have seen a considerable decrease in the dust since I installed the new port. I have it connected to a 20 yr old craftsman shop vac and a dust deputy. A zero clearance fence is not possible but a zero clearance insert does help also.

Hey, thanks for the post. I signed up for the DeWalt version when they get it in production. I do have a conventional box/shroud behind my saw connected directly to 6” duct. I believe (without much proof) that it gets most of the fine dust, but could stand to be improved a lot.

Not bashing the guy, I kinda like him actually. But, he did put this out there himself.
Good on him for standing beside his product.
Just a heads up.

Thanks, hope to try his product soon. Glad he’s involved in failure analysis. For little cutoffs from small pieces I either use a backing piece against the fence, or move to the sled on the table saw. But not always…

We made some fittings for our miter saw that get most of the dust and permit the use of a zero clearance fence. But it's specific to the Dewalt 715 and renders the bevel feature (which we don't use) of the saw unusable. I saw the Shop Nation stuff several weeks ago but a zero clearance fence is a must-have on our saws and I didn't think those products would be compatible.

Incidentally, those exploding dust chutes in the video above probably wouldn't happen if there's a zero clearance fence in place.
