Can a dumb YouTuber outsmart Dewalt? 

I purchased a dust collector for my Hercules sliding miter saw and can say with 100% assurance it works way better than the factory offering. Thanks for the efforts to improve dust management.

I'm not much of a "shop" person (more of a coder type) but shop stuff is interesting. What makes me watch this channel is that this is really a Masters curriculum in business / operations / marketing / financial management for the modern high-tech small business entreprenuer. Very well thought out content.

Mine came in two weeks ago and what difference it has made. It’s literally a day and night difference in my shop. My dewalt 780 was the last thing creating uncontrollable dust, but after your upgrade it’s like I barely notice it’s been running. Couldn’t thank you enough.

“Making 💩 just takes time”. Truer words have never been spoken. It’s a plus that your target customers are woodworkers who understand this concept lol. It takes a lot of designing and planning time for me to just to get a project to the point of going to the lumberyard. I can’t imagine planning and preparing for a scale as large as yours Travis.

I have been waiting for you to make one for the 715 since you started. I didn't even wait till the end the video to order this one. Can't wait to use it.

Dude, you've really elevated the production values & quality of your vids. They look great.

The one you're making for the 12" Makita. I need it for the 10" version please.

Thanks for sharing your journey. I am currently studying digigal fabrication and can honestly say I look at what you do as an inspiration for what to create and what the true process takes. Love the content and keep it up!

I’ve been waiting for this one to come out. I appreciate the time and effort you have done to work on these non-sliding saws. Placed an order today. Can’t wait to improve the quality of my work environment. Thank you sir! Also, as someone who spends every January making sausage, I appreciate the making sausage comment. My dad keeps his recipes in a notebook where nobody knows where it is.

I bought one for my DeWalt sliding compound mitre saw and I have to say that it works wonderfully. If you are considering one, do it and you will not be sorry.

Great job showing a glimpse behind the amount of work put into making something like this.

Cool to see another maker has tackled the Dewalt miter saw dust collection problem. I started working on a solution about 4 years ago and got side tracked into other projects. Good job!

Got mine several months ago, installed and it works better than expected...Much thanks!

I can appreciate what goes on behind the scenes, having designed and produced a high tech electronic product for a niche industry. Congratulations! I look forward to using your dust collector!

You are the best, I have always enjoyed Shop Nation, thank you.

I can say this... I am absolutely 110% happy with the dust chute I ordered from you!!! Yes shipping took awhile and yes im not a patient man🤣 BUT... It made it way more exciting to open the box when it arrived..! Although it doesn't collect 100% of the dust I would have to say its damn close depending on the type of cut being made. I work with MDF alot & we all know how nastey the dust is from it. I now have a clean mitersaw station without clouds of dust being shot everywhere. Oh and the Shop Nation sticker included is a great touch. Made me smile.

As someone who spent years involved in initially the design and prototyping of computers and consumer electronics, and then in the manufacturing of said products… Amen brother!

I have been on your waitlist for this one. Can’t wait and appreciate your efforts!

Small tip: If you're trying to thwart the idea stealing snakes, make sure your Bambulab printers are not connected to a network as they upload the gcode for every print to Bambulabs if they have the ability to talk to the internet. 3D Musketeers just did a video about this. Bambu have claimed multiple times that they do not collect gcode files, but the printers upload logs for every print you do that contains gcode files regardless of if you opted out of the data collection program or not. If they're lying about that, what else are they lying about? Stick to the prusas IMO.

Wow! This was an unexpectedly informative experience. Ironically, I just put a DW715 in my Amazon shopping cart last night.

Thanks for creating these. I ordered one yesterday as soon as I got your email saying they are ready. And yes, it's hard to be patient when like today I was out in the beautiful weather creating loads of sawdust.

One trade off here is that you have to remove the dust collection add on to be able to remove the blade. So factor that extra time in when choosing this type of product, worth it for me but not advertised!!!

I bought one of your gadgets for my Dewalt saw. It fit funny and contacted the blade. Just drilled one mounting hole a tad larger and that thing works great! I’d bet 97 maybe 98% of dust collected. Thank you.

Since you are making these dust collector options. One very cool idea would be to make a zero clearance plate that closes off the underside portion of the zero clearance plate so dust doesn't collect underneath the saw and improves dust collection even more. And then you can make it a package deal on your site with these attachments. Like figure out how deep the saw blade plunges into the base. Create an enclosure under that has some kind of vent that will direct the dust right back into your dust collector attachment. I'm already a fan of the 780 version.. I bought 2 for my shop. If you ever get to the Milwaukee 7.25" miter saw I would personally buy another dust collector attachment from you.

The crazy thing is with these new Miter saws is my 22 year old 10" saw is fantastic with dust collection. The bag is meh, but with a shop vac connected the only dust produced is large chips ejected forward.

Tha amount of effort and planning you put into these and 2 days in I still haven’t gone to the garage to confirm my saw model before ordering one. Definitely going to get one just need to pause one of the 4 times a day I walk by my miter saw.

I purchased one for my DeWalt. Easy to install. I'm thrilled with the results.

I ordered the dust collector for my DWS782 and it is awesome. Very little dust escaping compared to before. Thanks for your efforts to perfect the “OEM garbage “ dust collection 😆👌

Ordered it the moment it became available and I can't wait to get it on my saw!

I just installed the dust collector on my DWS715 and it works excellent! You said it doesn't collect it all but for me I think it gets 99% of it. I always had sawdust out the side but this has stopped that cold. Thank you for a product that actually works.

I wish I had seen this earlier. I just spent the last day or two designing, making, redesigning, and remaking a dust chute from the usual carboard and duct tape. Mine works great as long as I don't want to bevel cut. So I ordered yours with the 2 hose adapters.

Hope all the work pays off. Just imagine if you had gone down the road of magnetic ratchet, socket, wrench, organization! Infinite sizes, colors types etc. (quality out there is all over the map too). Keep up the shop greatness standard.

Focus group feedback and continuous improvement is key. You’ve put a lot of hard work and dedication into improving dust collection that is much needed and glad to see your hard work paying off! 👍

Interesting to see a bit more of the product launch process. Now to patiently await the launch of the Makita LS1219L version.

RESPECT for what you do and appreciation for how you do it! Now all I need is your solution to my Hitachi C12RSH dust devil 😢

This thing is awesome. It works!!!

Moooooooom!!! Travis made a beer bong!!!

WoW Proud of you, wish i felt better and had that kind of energy.

I've been waiting for this, just purchased one, thank you! Can't wait to test it out.

Congratz on your venture - much luck to you!

Oh the gripping nostalgia of Dewalt tools…I remember when I was a beginner

I bought the one for my delta cruder and absolutely love it! If you need testers let me know 😉

I’ve bought It for the dewalt. Fantastic product.

I don't even own a Dewalt and I want to give this guy money for vac setup. Good guy.

Wow how inspiring you are. Really admire your problem solving abilities, grit and engineering skills. God bless you. Will be ordering for my Bosch miter saw. 👍🙏

I kind of like the pile of sawdust tbh. It lets my wife think I’ve actually been making something when really I’ve been watching vids and drinking some local brews.

OMG. I was just cutting with my saw last week and the dust was AWFUL. I am going to make sure I have the right model, then dude, it's on!

Love your channel, and purchased a dust collector for my Hercules miter saw ... it works great!!!

i would love a podcast of you and slant 3d just talking print farm stuff.

I wonder if redesigning the blade guard and integrating dust collection into that would be another improvement. Similar to a table saw blade guard hood with dust collection. Travis, I challenge thee to experiment.

Focus group testing should go before mass manufacture in case theres basic changes that need to be made to the design.

How about design for Ryobi? Many backyard hobbyist use these saw.

really cool stuff, first video of yours I've watched but you got a subscriber!

I bought the SN adapter for my BOSCH mitre saw un real difference in dust collection.Make sure you have a decent dust collection method. Thanks SN!!!!

Just ordered one for my DW715. I've been watching your experiments for a while. My own half-vast solution of Cheerios boxes, craft foam, hot melt glue and a lot of duck tape falls apart every couple of weeks. Your elegant solution is well worth the price.

Any market for doing one for a DW708? I'd be happy to buy one and do any fitment testing you need.

Great stuff! Definitely not a dumb youtuber!

The Captain is going to be pissed. 🐍

I like the idea and the concept, only issue is price. Its a bit overpriced for me, but I understand why it's priced that way. I wish you success, and I always love to support small businesses over amazon as much as I can.

Do you Chute for DW705 available?

Thanks for this insight! Great content man.

I have one of these, I bought it to cut through my foundation cause it fit a 12 inch blade, kinda crazy I was able to cut a 2x3ft hole in my foundation with it.

Don't forget about us Ryobi Rats. They make dust too.

Are you sure you're an engineer? You have a wicked sense of humor, is why I ask.

not in the market for this but liked your video about the process! like you said, Making shit takes time!

I broke the dist collection on my Ryobi and your shop is the first place I went for a new one. Unfortunately I did not see a Ryobi offering.

hope to have an indoor shop someday it sucks workin on projects out in the cold MN winters

I don't have a Dewalt miter saw, but I wish I had one of these for my Skil (was from my father).

Cutting pvc sucks this would truly help

Got a Makita 10" DXT that badly needs this!

Here's what I found during my research recently! Not going to mention the product. The fact is if your 3D printing these at home here in the States you need to make your money within a month. Two months at the most that means you need to have your Instagram your TikTok videos your sending them out to all the RU-vidrs all dialed in FedEx overnight and everybody hits the public with this awesome new product and everybody buys them instantly! The reason is one of those customers is going to be China they're not going to 3D print them they're going to make molds and maybe improve on your design but after 2 months the third month the fifth month the 6th month they will be mass-produced sold for pennies on the dollar You're $30 item is going to cost $9.99 on Alibaba probably cheaper then make its way to Amazon and that's it you'll sue they'll take it down someone else will pick up the ball make the same product they'll give that person the molds that person will create a new company wash rinse repeat Good luck

This is exactly what i need but my $50 disappeared at the grocery store.

A couple of days ago I received the dust collection chute for my DWS715. I just installed it and it's really great. The product is very well designed and very well built. The instruction video makes installation very easy and straightforward. And the sample cuts I just did resulted in very little stray dust. This is such a great thing for my shop. Thanks so much!

I’m now tempted to change my Metabo Miter Saw for a DeWalt one so I can use your dust collector 🥴

glad to see im not the only one who can never complete a full sentence when the camera is on me.

Love that the before picture is with the factory's dust collection already removed...because I'm guessing you threw it away after your first prototype worked. Anyway, it doesn't do that much better than what you showed, so we're good. Gotta go see if you have something for a Hitachi sliding miter....

I have a DCS361B that I would love that for ❤

Again awesome video, design, and updates. Still hoping you’ll be able to make one for the DW706 which is a dual bevel 12”.

I do not have my miter saw purchased or selected yet, but when I do you can bet I will buy a dust collection adapter from Shop Nation's selection.

received my Shop Nation dust collection unit for the DeWalt 778 a few weeks ago AND... Awesome! k.jones

great run-through

And the Makita DXT with the rear rails.

It would be interesting to see one of you commentary videos about product development while there are already other products established. How does that work get scheduled? Whats the impact in design time? Is it easier mentally to do a new product with income coming in?

Nice work. Hope you sell a lot. I wish you made one for my cheap 10" Ryobi sa.

Thank you

I wonder, over a fair time period, how much it would cost to go through a plastic injection shop to make you a bunch. Of course the tooling would be quite pricey but the throughput with that is far quicker than 3d printers.

The problem is people keep buying crappy miter saws like Dewalt and Milwaukee for starters. Just buy a proper one like Festool or Makita with a adequate dust extractor . Using the standard bag on the mitre saw just causes saw dust everywhere even if you have a kapex. The price of a kapex is cheaper than the price of new lungs. Plus medical cost.

Great insight into how much work goes into these. Also shows why buying cheap Chinese knockoffs of products robs from entrepreneurs like you.

Great Video. More info on starting a Printing farm please.

On a sliding miter saw, it makes sense for the dust collection to be on the arm to follow the blade, but on a non sliding how well would it work having the dust collection on the base aiming up at the saw? Maybe still have a small shield on the arm to prevent the saw dust from shooting up and over the back of the saw. I wonder if it would eliminate some of the dust that makes its way under the saw. I may have to mock up one and see how it works

Did I see a Metabo in the background? I will gladly buy a Metabo version if you get it done! I love my saw but the dust collection is definitely sub par!

Have you experimented with the 12" Ridgid Compound miter saws yet? Great video.

Thank you for the knowledge you provided in your video. I also have a product that I have been working on for 6 years. And needed some help with getting ready for launching it. I would like to talk to you about how to do it. Thanks again.

Just ordered mine, thanks!

if it takes off, you'll have the joy of making a video about getting injection moulds made, then releasing plans for hydraulic injection moulding machines, it'll be enough to make you frown, and us giggle. btw, don't farm the manufacturing out or there will be knockoffs EVERYWHERE.

Seems like a good product, but I noticed that there’s still sawdust that gets out. Which makes me wonder, could you make a table that deals with this? Like sort of the inverse of an air hockey table? Maybe an air hockey table would do it. But anyway,what if your table had holes in it and then under the table there was negative air pressure not quite as strong as a vacuum that would pull the sawdust down underneath and then collect it?

1:30 I know people want to steal your design and that’s why you don’t want to show us. But honestly, the terrible people/companies that are going to do that will most likely buy 1 of each of your finished flushed out products, scan/measure and reprint. So you might as well just show us. But I get why you didn’t, so no worries. I plan on buying one for my dad’s DeWalt if it’s one you’ve done, and the Bosch you started with. He owns both those saws and secretly I’m hoping to acquire them from him, lol. He’s getting old and won’t be needing them soon.

I just bought a Ryobi 18v 10” sliding saw (got it for $219 at HD) can’t wait to see how bad the dust collection is on it. Haha

Still waiting for makita dust collection

I kinda wanted to see the product in action.
