Customer Rating: Summary: Better than piling dust on your floor Comment: First, I don't have a dust collection system, but do have a shop vac and the Bosch dust bag is still the 2nd best of my 3 options, and probably the best option for the money period. The bag has a pretty good capacity, and in itself doesn't seem to cause any clogging in the saw's exhaust port that wouldn't naturally occur. It clamps securly to the port and its simple to use. I preffer it over hooking up my shop vac because it doesn't draw any more power, is super easy to hook up, and is easier than tripping over my shop vac that always gets in the way. This does a very good job at collecting dust and I would definitely recomend it to anyone not using a collection system.
Customer Rating: Summary: works ok, but should be shorter Comment: This works ok, but I haven't tested it against hooking up my shop vac since I can 't find an adapter for my Ridgid vac.
I wish they had designed the bag 4 inches shorter. When I fold up the gravity stand, the bag hangs down and gets caught up in the wheel. More than once, I folded the bag over the rod to roll the stand around, forgot to unfold it and then used the saw. The bottom port filled up quickly and then really threw the dust back up through the blade area.
Customer Rating: Summary: minimize the saw dust in the shop... Comment: simple to install and pretty effective. The only draw back is that slivers of scap wood can easily block the "sawdust tunnel" that feeds the dust into the catcher. Empties easily.
Customer Rating: Summary: The only dust bag I never have to empty! Comment: I was really hoping this bag would help collect some of my sawdust. After a week of using it about two inches of dust has accumulated in the bag. Actually most of the dust blows out of every other opening in my bosch saw. The bag seems to catch bigger shavings. I have not been sawing any MDF or fine dust producing materials so it may help more with those. The problems seems that all the shavings keep clogging up in my dust port. On the plus side the bag has a squeeze clamp on it so it will work on just about anything.
Customer Rating: Summary: Get a Vacuum Comment: This device does work, but it clogs up really easily-thus creating tons of blow back from the kerf plate. I used it a few times then retired it. Vacuum or dust pile is the way I roll.
