I bought the boot and it was hard to find a connection for the Dewalt saw. I didn't use the boot for several months. I went back on the their website and they were selling 90 degree elbows which I bought.. Connected everything with flex plumbing connectors to my bucket cyclone and there is minimal dust. Bought a automatic vacuum start when the power saw goes on from Amazon - around $30. Works well, haven't adjust the boot at all.

These plans are well worth the $3 paid. The jig is simple to make, and is easily adjusted. Once set up, it makes great fitting joints.

If you have a chop saw that spews out too much dust and you can't control it, buy the mitigation products right away. This thing is awesome. I love watching the plume of dust coming out of the throat plate and up into the dust host. Awesome!

I bought everything needed to put this on my new Dewalt DWS716. All I can say, is WOW! This design is unbelievable good at mitigating dust. 100%? No. But, close enough. Better than anything else I have ever seen. My old saw (I sold it so I could buy this and the InspireWoodcraft parts to put on it) spewed dust everywhere. I am actually allergic to some woods and I have asthma. So this is a fantastic solution. If you have a saw this setup fits, run, don't walk, and order all this stuff RIGHT NOW! You will be thankful.

I will modify it to fit my ols DW705.

So I've converted my garage into a garage/woodworking shop over the past year or so. I recently replaced my workbench with a Miter station, since my workbence was so poorly put together! (it was my first project and it was ugly!). After completing the miter station I was all set to put the finishing touch with a Miter Station cover like you see in so many of the YouTube videos even though I was not happy with the look, but what could I do? Miter saws are the worst at dust collection. Plus, from what I can tell, these miter station covers only reduces the dust by what I consider an unacceptable fraction of the dust created. Then.... I happen to come across your YouTube video and your take on dust collection, and thought it looked good and made sense so I made the plunge.

By far, this is the best move I've made as far as dust collection goes. I went from (i) cutting two or three boards and then being forced to clean shop to (ii) cutting several boards with almost nothing left behind. With your larger rubber flap and the dust collection under the saw, you turned my DeWalt Miter saw into practically a dust-free cutting machine. I'm very pleased with the results, needless to say. Well done! I wonder if you have a similar solution for my DeWalt DWE7485 table saw? If so, I'm in.

The instructions were good enough to make the installation swift and easy. Uncertain about the shiny side or matte side of rubber orientation. The design and operation works great (5stars) and I don't want my next comment to distract from that. A very small amount of hard chips bounce out. My guess is the soft material of the boot. This isn't a criticism, but an observation from an old tester analyst. Keep doing what you're doing. I'm a fan.

Excellent quality product. Completely eliminated dust on my miter saw. Highly recommend this to anyone serious about dust collection.

I installed the shroud and port per instructions but for some reason I’m getting more saw dust around my miter station than I was before the install. Makes no since to me because it looks like it should work well with my shop nation dust port. I also have a very strong shop vac connected so I should have ample air to pull through both ports. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks

DeWALT DWS779/780 Dust Collection Throat Plate (PREORDER!)

A must to attach a dust boot.
I swapped out the OEM.
The magnets didn’t hold the boot securely and it slipped and got damaged.
This new bracket allows you to attach a boot securely and not interfere with even the blade guard rollers.

Great addition to my Dewalt miter. Vastly improved dust collection.

Between allergies and family requests, having exceptional dust collection is more of a priority than when I was in a work shed. I've tried many capture add-ons, with many improving things, but where they all seem to fail is the throat plate. Usually, stuff gets thrown below the deck, causing chips and bits to build up and smaller particles to escape. After a few days, a thin 'wood dust' coats half the shop, proving other designs are only marginally effective. Meanwhile, the Inspire Woodcraft solution traps virtually all of the fine debris. Installing doesn't take long.

One benefit that should be highlighted matters for those who use a yellow zero clearance tape. Those tapes are thick enough to alter the level of a workpiece, especially smaller parts. The Inspire Woodcraft product maintains a flush-cutting surface. If I had all the money I spent on other guys' solutions, I could have paid for two of these, so if you're on the fence, let me tell you this is the best thing on the market today.

Loved my purchase!

I recently picked up a DWS779 on sale. Needless to say, out of the box dust collection was basically non-existent. Not only that, but with the stock dust collection tube in place, the miter saw's footprint from the wall is significant, even with a 90* elbow and hose attached to my shop vac/dust deputy setup. First step was to get an upgraded dust collection shroud/tube/setup. Second step was to preorder the throat plate dust collection adapter from Inspire. Setup of the throat plate adapter was a breeze, and the quality of the print is fantastic. Perfect fitment and a super easy install meant I had this ready to go in a few minutes after unboxing. I had a very minor fitment issue due to a change with my 3rd party dust collection upgrade, but Inspire was super quick to work with on the issue and we narrowed down exactly what changed and they had an adapter out to me right away which solved the minor problem (I had a workaround, but a proper solution is always best). With both the other dust collection mod and the throat plate mod, I have VERY little dust produced from cutting at the miter saw...provided I remember to turn on my shop vac. :) Incredible product with a lot of time and thought put into its design!
