DeWALT DWS715 Zero Clearance Dust Collection Throat Plate Gen 2

Collect the dust from your miter saw that no other system can. The all-new, one-piece design of the Gen 2 Dust Collection Throat Plate has improved dust collection efficiency, installs quicker, and has a sleek new factory look, all at a significant cost reduction compared to our first-generation throat plates.

What is a Dust Collection Throat Plate?

It's a solid throat plate without an opening. Once you cut into it, you will be left with an opening that is only as wide as the blade, known as zero-clearance. This narrow opening provides material support right up to your cut line, helping prevent tear-out and keeping small offcuts from falling beneath the throat plate where they can cause dangerous ejection and kickback. Built into the underside of the throat plate is a shroud that traps all the debris that would normally be shoved down under the throat plate and forces it to exit out the rear, where it can be sucked away by your vacuum.

The Gen 2 Zero Clearance Dust Collection Throat Plate for the DeWALT DWS715 installs in less than a minute. Simply remove the six T-20 screws that hold the factory throat plate in, take out the factory plate, slide the Dust Collection Throat Plate in, and secure it reusing the factory screws.

Dust Collection Throat Plates are not intended to be used while making bevel cuts! These were designed for cabinet and furniture makers that rarely, if ever, use the bevel feature of their miter saws. Bevel cuts will destroy the shroud and the zero-clearance functionality. The full range of miter cuts can be made as long as the blade is plumb, or 90 degrees to the table.

While Dust Collection Throat Plates work well by themselves, they benefit greatly from being coupled with an upgraded aftermarket behind-the-blade collector, like this one from Shop Nation. Aftermarket upgrades like this give you a better chance of actually sucking up all the dust and debris at the source.
