Can this be connected to a cabinet saw to act as a dust collector? I do not care about the on-off feature just whether it will pull the dust out of the saw.

The hose supplied with this unit will not fit a 4 inch outlet on a cabinet saw without some type of adapter. Also note that filter bags are expensive and any small cutoff produced by the saw possibly could puncture the bag. I use a Dust Deputy by Oneida and a large Shop-Vac to remove the Dust From my contractor's table saw. I enclosed the back to help with the suction.

Not sure if it would have enough suction to work well. I use mine with a track saw and a random orbital sander and it works great but the cabinet saw has such a large area to pull from I would be a little concerned if it would work.

I think they work quite well with the makers own saw but not so good with other brands. I have also heard from friends who have both and they say it does not perform as well as the claims of 95% dust removal even with a matching saw.

I doubt it, the saw dust collection chute would have to be jammed solid, you would hear the motor trying to turn(a stalled motor would make a deep hum noise) then it would pop a breaker or the GFI, if your garage is wired to a GFI. If no motor noises, with a volt meter first check power at the outlet, then check the switch for power in & out.( or you can check continuity of the switch with an ohm meter - with the saw UNPLUGED) If all tests are good then check the motor. power cords(to the switch, switch to motor) and also extension cords can go bad as well. test them all. hope this helps.

It should work fine. I have not problems using it with my large dust collector.

This saw would need the adapter for dust collection which is designed for a 4" dust hose. You will need to make or purchase an adapter. Please keep in mind portable vacuums like yours only have 130 CFM which is low for this type of application. I would recommend a dust collector with a minimum of 700+ CFM.

That's to guide saw dust to the dust exhaust port. If you hook your shop vac to the port you'll see what I mean.

I have not tried it for that but from what I have seen of the dust collection capabilities of the sander, I would say not, it would miss a lot of the dust. Just my opinion.

This is more for lead/asbestos abatement purposes. I've also used this while sanding and scraping paint off. It picks up finer particles. But I would definitely recommend it for sawdust and dirt applications. Better safe than sorry.

No. This is made to attach to a dust port such as a table saw or router table.

I have not seen or heard of any optional dust collection kits. Looked on Dewalt website and nothing about a dust collecting. It does have a dust blower.

I use mine in the garage to filter and move the air around. I wouldn't try to use it as a dust collection system. I don't think it's designed for that type of application.

No you cannot easily connect to a shop vac. The port coming off the sander is too small and the connector to the bag is oddly shaped so you can't even tape a hose to it. You could order a special adaptor from a third party and hope it doesn't fall off. For less money both DeWalt and Milwakee make sanders that easily accept shop vac hoses. There is much less dust when connected to the suction of a vac than used with just a tiny bag for collection.

The saw is meant to be used as a handheld dry saw. I've used it to cut ceramic tile. It works great, but is very loud when cutting and makes lots of dust. I don't know of anyway to make it work like a wet saw using water to cool and lubricate the blade. Doing so might be dangerous, anyway -- perhaps even producing electrical shock or shorting out the motor.

I designed a dust collector from sheet metal. I attached my shop vac up to it and it works very well. The only thing, is you can't take alot off at once. It will clog up the vac hose.

I run both my table saw and dust collector at the same time on a 20 amp breaker with no problem

Hello Mark, the dust collection system on this saw is not very good. The saw dust collects in the sliding rail bump stop located towards the rear and if not cleaned often the saw will not have the full sliding capability. Thanks, Calin

This is intended to work with a brick or tile saw where there is a water flush to catch the dust. I think there would be too much dust if it is used on a table saw. The dust would probably wear the saw motor and drive belt system quickly. I would not recommend for a dry saw.
