Dust collection for this Bosch GCM12SD Dual Bevel Sliding Miter saw has been on my list for a long time and I've finally finished it! The popularity of this saw in the woodworking community means that many out there can benefit from a solution like this.

Thank you so much for watching and I would welcome any input or feedback. Here is to keeping that shop awesome.

Thanks everyone for watching and giving some ideas for future saws to tackle! Links below for reference:

As an engineer myself albeit much much older I am very impressed with you so much so I ordered your solution for my Bosch 12 inch miter saw. You are the kind of engineer I would want on my team, one who is hand on and continues to try and try until the best possible solution is found. Kudos to you.

Do I have a miter saw? Nope. Did I watch the whole video anyway? Yup.

[tighecrovetti]

Ordered. Gotta support people working this hard for the community!

[JANtheDane]

Can't wait for your DeWalt version. I hate the mess my miter saw makes, and I too have not treasured making a huge box/tent behind the saw. Like you, my own attempts at fixing that issue have been difficult.

Consider my 10" Bosch version ordered whenever they're available! This is so awesome.

Received the dust collector today. Installation was straight forward and quick. Had to try it. Hooked up the vacuum and dust collection worked as well as the video. Excellent design.

I purchased this recently and could not believe the difference it made. I wrestled with my old dust collection for years. I am extremely happy with the purchase.

Just installed your "Bosch Dust Collection Chute" ...all I can say is OUTSTANDING! Incredible quality parts and hardware, perfect fit, and extremely easy to install with your installation video..And now, testing. I did 10 cuts on a 2x4 with the stock chute and small vacuum. (My stock set-up.) Gathered up all the sawdust and it basically fit in the palm of my hand. After installing your "Bosch Dust Collection Chute" and making another 10 cuts, I may have had a teaspoon full! OMG what a difference! I am so glad I purchased this, my shop is half of a two car garage and was dreading making a dust box for the saw. I HIGHLY recommend this UPGRADE to everyone with a Bosch 12" glide saw. Thanks Travis, am one step closer to...."SHOP GREATNESS!"

Here for the dws780….anxious to see what you come up with. But I also wanted to remind you of the recall dewalt had, so you’ll have to either make sure it’s recall compliant or mounting has zero affect on the recalled pieces.

I love my bosch miter saw, because of the front slide action. With a small shop area, it's a must have. But even with an extra vac hose by the saw, it's still dust everywhere.
You my friend, have another sale, thank you for this much needed product.

[JimHester]

If it performs as well as the model you made for the Cruzer saws, Bosch owners are gonna be super pleased with this!

[Luqman]

I've got this saw and walked past the sawdust mess it made over the last few weeks. Not sure how Google knew I needed this but I'm glad this video was recommended. Many thanks for the work and effort you put into this.

You’re a blessing to all makers using mitre saw’s! Thank you for your greatness…well done!

[sgbc]

I have this saw and for the last 3 years have tried hoses, tape, boxes, everything to help with dust collection. This is a great solution, just ordered it before the video even ended.

[michaelault]

If suction could be added to the base in the slot of the clearance plate I believe it would improve dust collection. Kinda like a downdraft table for sanding.

[kevindoyle]

That’s what I’m looking for! I was planning to make a bunch of changes to shelving to build the big box behind the saw, but not now. Thanks for taking the time to model and print all of these versions. As a retired M.E. I appreciate your approach.

+1 on the Makita LS1219 saw. I actually got rid of the Bosch, mostly because of the dust collection. Makita is so promising with the dual collection but let down badly when sliding. The small hoses probably don't help either.

[robtimberman]

Just ordered mine! I have been struggling since day one of buying this saw and it’s lack of dust collection. Love the saw, but not the dust collection. Thanks for taking the time to try out different configurations to come up with a solution that will be a huge improvement. Can’t wait to receive it and add it to my saw.

Waiting (semi-)patiently for the 779 to come around. Thanks for sharing the iterative process again. Always good to learn from the thoughts of others.
