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!

Love the product. Would buy again. Customer service is the best and pleasant to work with.

I watched the video and liked the design so I purchased the plans! EASY!

Ordered Sept 28 , havent received my plan so can not give a fair review

The Simplest Adjustable Box Joint Jig (Template)

Installed the DWS779 throat plate along with a dust chute from another company.
I’m extremely impressed with the thought and care in the design and manufacturing of Jodees designs.
I will actually be willing to use my DeWalt miter saw for a change. Ninety plus percent dust collection!
Great easy to follow instructions along with all the parts fit with no alterations or issues installing.
I’m thrilled I waited for Jodee to complete his design, well worth the wait.
Thank you again for a quality aftermarket product that does what it is supposed to!

Jodee I think that you should get a patent on your dust collection throat plate and sell it to DeWalt. The original DeWalt dust chute was an absolute joke. The Rousseau hood worked to catch a lot for my vacuum, but I still had a LOT of airborne dust. Then I purchased a dust chute from Travis at Shop Nation which was a large improvement over the so called DeWalt dust chute, but still had airborne dust. Then I purchased your dust collection throat plate and now collect the remaining dust from the blade area. I honestly think that with my Bosch Dust Extractor, Shop Nation dust chute and Inspire Woodcraft dust collection throat plate that the dust problem is over to the point that I don’t have to wear a respirator. I’m very thankful to you and Travis for taking care of such a dangerous breathing hazard…..saw dust. SUPER EASY to install.
Thank you Jodee for taking the time to research and develop a throat plate dust collector that plays very well with Travis’ dust chute design!!!!

Easy install, works great!

I installed this on my Dewalt model DW706. I only had one minor issue with the “keel” on the zero clearance insert that I had to take a bit off of to clear the pivot under the saw. This system works unbelievably well. Thanks for an excellent product!
