4.0 out of 5 stars PRETTY GOOD BANG FOR YOUR BUCK, March 3, 2002

This review is from: Less-Mess DC001 Dust Collector Bag (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchased this product despite some less than stellar reviews by others and am happy with it. Installation on my old Craftsman couldn't have been simpler and took all of 15 minutes.
It would be difficult, if not impossible,to mount to one of the Delta saws or any similar design with that dust chute on the under side.
Does it completely eliminate all the dust? No, only about 90 percent of it. I figure that for a passive system, that only costs [some money], what more can you ask for? And, realistically, just what percentage of dust do those [expensive] systems catch? I doubt it's 100 percent anyway. If you're looking for an inexpensive solution to a portion of your shop dust problem, this is a good starting place.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive Dust reduction for a table saw, November 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Less-Mess DC001 Dust Collector Bag (Tools & Home Improvement)

The LESS-MESS DC001 Dust Collector Bag is inexpensive and itworks. By working, I mean that it collects the vast majority but notall of the sawdust that my saw produces. But for the price, this iswhat I expected. It will not replace a $500 vacuum system. Cleanuptime has been reduced, and there is no big pile of sawdust to getkicked or blown around. Depending on the cut, usually only a bit offine dust is produced by the saw. Initially there was some dust beingkick up, but I found the blade was 0.008 inch out of parallel to themiter slot. If you are looking to control the saw dust from yourtable saw and noticeably reduce the flying dust, I can recommend thisdust collection bag. But, if you want or need really good dustcollection and control, I am afraid you will need something else.

This review is from: Less-Mess DC001 Dust Collector Bag (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have a Craftsman "Limited Edition" saw (they only made 50 million units) which like the inexpensive Delta saws have plenty of gaps between the saw top and the saw body, that may need plugging so that a bag like this will work better. You'll also have to plug the slots made for the blade tilt. If you do all that, you may expose the saw to more dust and heat may build up. You can't hook up a Slopvac or dust collector to the DC001 so as to suck up dust and pull in cooler air to reduce heat buildup. I solved this issue by plugging all the vents and gaps and then building a box which fits snugly under the saw--the box has a hole that will accommodate tubing from my Slopvac (or a dust collector when I get one). Under these conditions, I get much less dust scattered around. you can make one cheaply from 1/2" plywood because you have a table saw!
