How's the dust collection on these when using a vacuum?

I haven't used it with a vacuum yet, but with the way the saw is set up, it is almost a necessity. The dust collection bag is worthless. It fills up fast, and if you don't empty it the sawdust dumps right back into the saw (making a mess). I have a flex hose attached, and will be trying out a shop-vac in the near future.

Works great when cutting across the grain. Dust port tends to clog when cutting with the grain which is a common issue with miter saws in my experience.

Dust collection even with a vac or dust collector is not very good but it is about the same as most sliding miter saws. Otherwise it's a great saw especially for the price.

I haven' had a problem at all. I do make sure there are any larger chunks of things on the floor though. A piece of glass might flip around in the beater bar and scratch the wood. That's the case with any vacuum I suppose. I've been really happy with it. Only complaint is that the cord gets in the way.

It does really well with fine dust like drywall. They demo it in one of their videos I believe. I think it comes down to how well your vacuum performs and how frequently you empty the dust bucket.

Dust collection works ... Meaning it captures some sawdust .. But let's face it saw dust is very fine and unless you attach a vacuum system most of the fine dust will just blow out

At least as good as, if not slightly better. The best part, though, is that it cuts down a LOT on the noise made while cleaning. I would say they filters are slightly harder to clean, but in return they trap more fine dust. I clean the filters once in ashile with our regular vacuum, but you really need a little brush to get the dirt out of the folds in the paper.

Vacuums are about 2 years old. They are reliable and keep the dust down inside the house. The only thing I do not like is the indicator shows it needs cleaned after one use. It still has good suction though so u could prob use couple more times. I just used one this morning.

I purchased my vacuum because I was buying vacuums at the rate of 1 or 2 per year. I have carpet (dogs and lots of birds) the bristles turn off when the body of the vacuum is in the upright position and you use the hand-held hose. Generally, I sweep the seed and feathers up first with a broom and then use the hose and wand on the rest. I've had the vacuum for 4 years without any problems. The one negative I've found is the price of the bags (I wanted a vacuum with a bag as the bag-less seem to spit out everything). I do purchase generic bags on-line and they are the same as the pricey ones at half the price. The body swivels and will get under furniture pretty well, around corners easily and does a good job overall. Hope this helped.

They ride the vacuum in molded areas, and attach to the hose which is permanently attached and is easy to turn on. I've used crevice and brush tools and they work well -- the suction is strong.

Yes they work fine.. They are made of paper, not the cloth type material that came with the vacuum when it was new, but they seem to work just as well.

The default dust collection could be more accurately called a 'dust sampler'. Pretty useless. On my saw, I removed the useless tiny plastic scoop thing and fabricated my own custom scoop out of thin cardboard and masking-tape. It actually looks rather like the scoop on the Festool Kapex, and works quite well, considering. Then i hook up my shopvac to the saw.

I have been using these filters for some time now and never any issues, these filters seem to do a very good job at catching fine dust and dog dander. I do change mine more often than the manufacturer recommendation, I do so every 2-3 weeks just to make sure that my system is not working harder to keep up.

yes it does pick up dust pretty good but they sell others that has a brush like a vacuum cleaner besides the two round ones in the front that I assume will pick up really good so if you do some more research you'll see those I wish I could have bought one of those instead I really think that would have been a better buy

What I have done is first vacuumed the foam filter, then take out the two perm filters and use the brush attachment on my Kirby... It has enough suction to get out almost all the collected dust... I also have a unit in another room to reduce dust in my apt... Hope this helps...

The bags would work well. You may still have to clean yur filter, but the vac with the peper bags inside works well and picks up just about anything.

Yes I find it collects dust very well for the price I paid for it. And it is not noisy.

I do not have a dust problem. So I will not be able to answer that portion of your question. As for the dogs and people hair.(A house of 4 women with long hair,with 2 dogs. It picks it all up and does a great job.

I have cats and use these filters to clean the area around the litter box. I've washed the filters (I bought 2) a few times each and don't see any noticeable decline in vacuum from when I first bought them. A lot of nasty stuff comes out in the water when you wash them and they return to a slightly gray shade of white, so I think most of the litter dust is successfully removed.
