Bosch glide saw and dust collection - JDuke - 12-27-2024
Like many here I have been chasing decent miter saw dust collection for some years.
A couple years ago I bought a 12 inch Bosch glide saw so I could put it closer to the wall.
I really like the glide mechanism and that has proven to be be very durable. About a year ago I had a blade catch event with the saw while cutting aluminum and caused significant damage to both sides of the fence. I ordered replacement parts and apparently there are 2 sub models of that saw so I got the wrong ones initially. While waiting for the correct ones to arrive I made an aluminum adapter to use pieces of 15 series 80/20 as the fence and like it so much I haven’t gone back to the original they are stored under the saw.
One of the things I liked about the 80/20 fence was better support close to the blade as I almost never turn from 90 degrees on the saw I was able to leave a very small gap behind the blade. It also greatly simplified attachment of a home built dust collection shroud directly behind the blade. This really improved dust collection but still there was room for improvement, as a lot of dust was escaping.
The saw has a dedicated shop vac under it with 2.5 inch PVC routed up to behind the saw that comes on automatically with the saw.
Eventually I bought the Shop nation 3d Printed device that mounts around the back of the blade and it has been far better than any dust collection solution I have tried on any miter saw.
I guess I buried the lead but I really like the shop nation dust collection device.

That looks pretty slick, Mike. I wonder if it would fit my standard 12" Bosch CMS.

I also have the Bosch Glide and have always intended to give this guy’s solution a try. He employed a very scientific analysis to determine the effectiveness and it seems to do a very good job of capturing most of the dust. One of these days I will get around to it.

That's a pretty good solution for 90 deg cuts. It's not much different than what I use on my RAS that stays at 90 deg. The problem with it on a miter saw, however, is that most folks often use it for angled cuts.

And angled cuts on both sides. Did I forget to mention bevel cuts?

Great video and the guy had very a very good presentation technique, IMO. Miter saws are probably one of the most challenging tools for DC. 96% is pretty good and way above average, I'm guessing.
