I purchased this bag for my DW708 miter saw and it barely captures any of the sawdust. Most of the sawdust shoots directly out the lower portion of the blade and will not make it up to the higher location of the bag. I subsequently hooked up a vacuum system with much better results.

After purchasing and installing the dust bag I noticed that it didn't matter whether I had the bag on or not, the amount of dust spewing from the saw was the same. Luckily I purchased this bag from a local building supply store that guarantees satisfaction on anything they sell.

I purchased this product and was not impressed with the performace. I have a Dewalt mitersaw and found this dust bag only gets in the way and does not stop much sawdust at all from being blown out the rear. I would not recommended it.

For every pound of sawdust created, this maybe captures an ounce. What's up with that?
My DeWalt 705 still rocks though!

I use the saw with out a bag. I use a piece of 90 abs to direct the sawdust into a rubbish bin or just pile it up where it lands and clean up at the end of the day.

I have this bag on my DW708 and I have found it works best inverted with a slight tilt . A wider catch inlet would be an improvement .

I don't know why anyone still uses these things. Everyone owns a vacuum, and if the nozzle doesn't match up perfectly we all know how to use duct tape.

Some people get the bag to work; others have problems. But in the end it's the guys with the vacuum hooked up to it that end up walking away with little or no cleanup!

If you lost it and are looking to replace it, forget it and go buy a new blade with the money you save.

I use a DW 12" saw. This needs zero stars. This bag falls off when the blade arm is raised. After a half day of chopping it had pehaps 1/3 cup of sawdust with the rest on the floor. Sent back as defective. Don't waste your money unless you want to duct tape it on for looks. The other reviews about this problem were dead on.

I have a DW708, and it picks up dust so effectively that it gets annoying having to empty the bag so often.

I really like my DeWalt sliding compound miter saw, and got this bag for it when I started using the saw in my garage shop (as opposed to outdoors projects) for dust control. It is only a little bit better than using the saw without it. I would say the dust capture is 20% at best.

I found that I am a lot better off for dust capture if I attach my shop vacuum to the port where this bag is supposed to attach and have active suction to pick up the dust. This captures about half or more of the dust. Overall, though, it seems that there is a reason there are dust hood systems with large hoods to capture miter saw dust into a collector: a lot of the dust does not exit through the blade guard, but spews right off the top of the cut.

Conclusion: don't bother with this, it's not good value and it gets in the way.
