BOSCH TS1004 Table Saw Dust Collector Bag

Before buying this, I used a rubber band and a disposable contractors trash bag to collect dust when I didn't want to go through the hassle of connecting a vacuum and turning it on every time I made a cross cut on a 3" wide wood floor board. This collector bag works very well even without having air power like a shop vac. The effectiveness of this will most likely be determined by the type of saw blade you use and the width of the clearance on your throat plate. I'm currently using a Freud 10" 50-tooth combination rip/cross blade and the table saw's original throat plate (probably 1/2" opening). The finer the dust particles, the smaller the throat plate opening, and the less likely dust will come back up from the saw's base during rotation. The composition of the bag is an important factor to consider. It's very sturdy, with a high thread count, but it's also extremely breathable. I blew as hard as I could into the opening, but the bag didn't expand or move at all. As a result, there is no resistance to airflow, which means the dust does not return to your face. The shape is ideal because it leaves nothing for dust to collect near the opening, preventing clogging. To demonstrate how easy it is to empty the bag, I tried clapping my hands with the bag 1/3 full of sawdust, and no dust escaped through the fabric! That's fantastic. Furthermore, the bag's height is the same as the distance between the table saw's port opening and the ground, ensuring that the bag does not sag or hang on the ground. The bottom is so close to the ground that it actually touches it.

I use this bag with a DeWALT jobsite table saw (model 7480, but I'm sure other trims will work just as well), as do many other reviewers. It performs admirably, gathering roughly 80 percent of the time. Most modern table saws are designed in such a way that the blade is enclosed in the dust chute, and the blade actually creates an air flow towards the chute exit with blade% As a result, the majority of dust is sucked out that way. When I turn on the saw, I can see the bag inflate, which is why it's crucial to use a bag that lets the air out while keeping the dust in (unlike plastic garbage bags). As a result, the saw acts as if it were a vacuum cleaner. I'm sure attaching a shop vacuum will increase suction and collect even more dust, but I tried it and it didn't work. My circuit breaker protested vehemently, stating that running a shop vacuum and a table saw on the same circuit is a no-no, and promptly tripped. As a result, I'm going to run them in order. I start with the saw with the bag attached, then use a vac to collect any dust that remains on the table and a little under the saw. Because there isn't much left, I usually do the latter at the end of the day or after particularly taxing jobs. When I compare the contents of the bag to the contents of the vacuum - By a large margin, the bag is the clear winner. It's where the majority of the dust accumulates. The circuit breaker is also on board with this strategy.

Because I didn't get that far, I can't comment on the ability to collect dust. You'd think that because it's made for the Bosch 4100, it'd be easy to slide over the smaller retaining bars.

Except that the stitching started to rip on the second day of use, this bag did a surprising job of collecting oak flooring sawdust from a Dewalt tablesaw. I'm going to make some reinforcing stitches so that I can use this thing to make cuts inside houses with as little dust as possible.

I had been using an old shop-vac to collect dust because I couldn't afford a more expensive dust collection system. I used a vac 2/2" tube to direct sawdust into a waste basket, but I needed something more efficient. When I saw the TS1004, I knew I had to give it a shot. This dust collection bag collected more than the 70% sawdust claimed, leaving a lesser % on the floor to sweep up at the end of the day to sweep up at the end The bag has a large capacity and does not need to be emptied until the end of the day, depending on how steady you are sawing. Despite its Bosch origins, it fits my Dewalt Shop Saw's 2 1/2' dust port. Although there is no flange, the clamp ring is so secure that it has never come loose. Although the bag's stitching at the clamp needed to be repaired, this issue was resolved by carefully attaching the bag. Any saw or wood cutter with a 2" dust port should use this. It's unlikely to be useful on hand tools because it's too bulky for that type of application. br>It was a perfect fit.

It does exactly what it says in the description: it collects the majority (but not all) of the dust. If the saw blade has an enclosed dust chute (which most newer saws do), this bag will work best. It performs better with plywood than with MDF, but I assume this is due to the size and weight of the dust. This dust bag will continue to be used by me because it reduces the amount of dust that needs to be cleaned up after cutting wood. This bag should fit any table saw with a dust port of 2 1/2 inches, which includes most contractor table saws. The seams on the top near the spring clamp came undone, which was a problem for me. I simply re-stitched the area with a sewing needle and thread. I sewed it back together. It's much better now, and it appears that the gap for dust to escape near the clamp has been closed.

You will never be able to remove 99% of sawdust from a table saw without a shopvac. There's no way it'll happen. However, this collects a lot of dust; if I went outside and ran my Craftsman table saw through a few 2x4s, I'd have a lot of fine dust all over my patio. Even if I had to run it in the grass in front of my grass field. Sawdust would be blown all over the place by the wind. However, with this bag, I can use my table saw on my patio and clean up with just a broom and dustpan. There is no fine dust on my grills or shelving. It's effective at what it does. br>br>This is a standard bag and clamp combination. It should work with almost any table saw that isn't custom or industrial in size.
