TS1004 Table Saw Dust Collector Bag

I am using this currently on my DeWalt compact jobsite table saw, and no other items were necessary to attach this. Before purchasing this, when I didn't want to go through the hassle of connecting a vacuum and turning it on every time I made a cross cut on a 3" wide wood floor board, I used a rubber band and disposable contractors trash bag to collect dust. This collector bag works very well even without having air power like a shop vac. The efficiency of this would probably be dependent on what kind of saw blade you are using, and how wide the clearance on your throat plate is. I am currently using a Freud 10" combination rip/cross blade with 50 teeth, with the original throat plate that came with the table saw (probably 1/2" opening). The more teeth your blade has, the finer the particles of dust, and the smaller the throat plate opening, the less chance of dust coming back up from the base of the saw during the rotation. The important fact about this is the composition of the bag. Its very solid, has a very high thread count, but its VERY breathable. I tried to blow into the opening as hard as i could, and the bag seriously didn't expand/move. So this means there is no resistance to airflow, and therefore doesn't kick the dust back up to your face. The shape is perfect, because there is nothing for the dust to sit on near the opening, and prevents any clogging. The bag is very easy to empty, and to get my point across, I tried clapping my hands with the bag 1/3 filled with sawdust, and no dust escaped through the fabric! That is awesome. And also, the height of the bag happens to be the exact height of the opening of the port on the table saw and the ground, so the bag doesn't sag on the ground, OR hang. The bottom just perfectly touches the ground.

Like many reviewers here I use this bag with DeWALT jobsite table saw (model 7480, but I'm sure other trims will do as well). It does a great job, collecting probably a good 80-90% of all sawdust. The way most modern table saws are designed is that the blade is enclosed in the dust chute, and the rotation of the blade actually creates an air flow towards the chute exit with blade teeth working like fan blades. So it sucks most dust out that way. When I turn on the saw I can see the bag inflate, which is why it is important to have a bag that lets the air out (unlike plastic garbage bags) and keeps the dust in. So the saw sort of works like a vacuum by itself. I am sure, that attaching a shop vacuum will create even more suction, collecting even more dust, but when I tried - my circuit breaker made a firm protest. It told me that running a shop vacuum and a table saw on the same circuit is a no-no, and tripped right up. So I run them sequentially. First the saw with the bag attached, then I collect what dust remains on the table and a bit under the saw with a vac. I usually do the later at the end of a day or after especially heavy jobs, because there is not much left there. When I compare what ended up in the bag vs inside the vacuum - the bag is a clear winner by huge margin. Most dust ends up in there. And the circuit breaker approves of such an approach too.

It does what it says it does in the description, it catches most (but not all dust). This bag works best if the saw blade is enclosed dust chute (most newer saws have this). It does better with plywood over MDF, but I'm assuming that has to do with the dust size and weight. I will still use this dust bag as it saves a lot of dust cleanup after cutting wood. This bag should fit any 2 1/2 inch dust port; which is most contractor type table saws. One problem that I did have is that the seams on the top near the spring clamp came undone. I just took a sewing needle and thread and re-stiched it up. It's better now and this seemed to close in the gap for dust to escape near the clamp.

For the ones that say it does not fit. You are supposed to get an adapter just like everything else with shopvacs. I hooked it up to a Dewalt 4791 type 10. The bag works very well. It has good air flow and dust flow, which reduces the amount of dust going to the undesired direction. Yeah, sometimes it will clog but that is expected with a bag. When it clogs just go clear up the clog, you know because you get more dust coming out of the blade. It's regular maintenance for this type of solution. This bag does not clog very often and for the price, it's great! If you don't want to deal with dust clogs then connect a shopvac or other dust collection systems with a additional air flow.

What a great dust bag that fits my new Skil table saw. Fits perfect and collected almost everything that came through the dust portal under the blade.. Totally worth the 12 bucks and change to not have to sweep tons of saw dust off the floor. Just unzipped it and it all came out.. Would totally recommend if you are a simpleton woodworker like myself and dont have a fancy elaborate dust collection system in your shop. Not to mention that it is really long and went almost all the way to the floor making it able to hold quite a bit of dust. I will empty it every time I use it because its so easy, but its still nice to see that you get a good value for your money and they product is quality and well designed.

This bag works surprisingly well reducing the sawdust from my Bosch Jobsite table saw. The bag itself is like an extra large sawdust catcher bag you'd find on a mitre saw only this one is 10" wide by 30" long. While this bag is designed for Bosch table saws it will work on almost any table saw (Rigid, DeWalt, Makita etc...) that has a 2.25" - 2.75" inch extraction tube or vacuum attachment. The top of the bag has a metal support bar with spring loaded connector which attaches to the vacuum outlet of your table saw. On the bottom of the bag there is a full length 10" zipper making it easy to empty the bag when full. While not as good as hooking up a vacuum to the table saw this Bosch TS1004 Collector Bag does a good job at catching about 75-80% of the debris from the table saw and works great for smaller jobs when you don't want drag out and hook the vacuum up. While the bag works well you do get more dust blow back coming up from the blade and projected out toward you when using the bag. Overall this bag reduces dust and debris and makes cleanup faster.

Also works on dewalt table saw. I guess it has standard opening size

Great product

No hay nada como una aspiradora conectada a la salida de una cierra, ya que esta absorbe el polvo, esta bolsa solo lo recibe pero no contribuye tanto a las partículas de polvo pequeña, esta de buena calidad, ligera y el cierre por de bajo ayuda mucho para sacar el polvo. Hace lo que promete pero si tu interés es disminuir el polvo en el ambiente mi recomendación es una aspiradora.
