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!

Pleased as punch to have found this site. The silicone dust port works great, but more importantly, I'm all about folks designing, innovating and experimenting on their own. It doesn't get much better than that. Inspire Woodcraft is... inspirational!

You'll need to hook up a good shop vac to these parts, but once you do, you're going to see a dramatic improvement to your miter saw dust collection!

The zero clearance insert and dust collection fitting weren’t specifically for my older DW706 mighter saw, but with a few adjustments they seem to work well! Much less dust in the air!

Thanks!

I had tried multiple attempts at building various hoods to reduce the dust generated from my Dewalt 716 miter saw. Saw a video demonstrating this silicone dust boot on Pinterest. I am extremely pleased/delighted with the performance of this boot! Although not eliminating 100% of the dust generated, (don’t know know of any miter saw out there that does, perhaps a $1,600 Festool might come close) I say this boot it captures 90% plus! Great product, simple to install.

Better dust collection! 🥳

A simple but effective solution.

I recently purchased the saw that I’ve been eyeing for a couple of years, the DWS16XPS. It actually showed up perfectly calibrated, which is just weird. Anyway, the dust collection was virtually nonexistent with a shop vac attached. There’s nothing wrong with the original setup, it’s designed so you can use all of the saw’s miter and bevel capabilities. I ordered the dust boot first thinking I’d just do my own throat plate, then found this on YouTube. It looked too annoying to try and replicate , so I ordered one too. Run conjunction I think it’s literally as good as you can get for dust collection. I just have the stock plate in my truck for the rare bevel cuts, and you can just fold the boot back on itself for tighter angled cuts 👍🏼

Would highly recommend

As expected, easy, clear, understandable plans. Inspiration to build the jig :)
