Dust bag does not catch all of the dust but it does help cut down on the dust. It does what I expected.
Overall, though, it seems that there is a reason there are dust hood systems with large hoods to capture miter saw dust into a collector: a lot of the dust does not exit through the blade guard, but spews right off the top of the cut. It is only a little bit better than using the saw without it. I really like my DeWalt sliding compound miter saw, and got this bag for it when I started using the saw in my garage shop (as opposed to outdoors projects) for dust control. I would say the dust capture is 20% at best.I found that I am a lot better off for dust capture if I attach my shop vacuum to the port where this bag is supposed to attach and have active suction to pick up the dust. Conclusion: don't bother with this, it's not good value and it gets in the way. This captures about half or more of the dust.
I'm surprised Dewalt did not include it with all their miter saws. This was a perfect fit for my Dewalt miter saw. I now have much less dust. This is a must for the home user. Even though it does not capture *all* the dust, it still is much better than without this dust bag.
This was as I had expected. I received it in a satisfactory time frame
Purchase went without a hitch. Bowes I wish all purchases were this effecient. Thanks, M.
