Nice! Some of my viewers might be surprised, but an overarm guard like that is something I've been thinking about making. Handy to have the dust collection right there, especially when cutting stuff like MDF.
Using a laser particle counter I ran air quality tests with and without my over blade collector. It's impossible to maintain healthy air quality in the shop without one. Most of the dust generated goes to the bottom but enough gets kicked off the top to drive particle counts 5x more than safe max limits. I made something similar based on your design, Justin. Thanks for sharing.
Great engineering on the shape of the collector hood. I paid for the plans just for that. It picks up virtually all the dust coming off the blade. Nice work on the plan set and templates.
I got the plans and made one of these. It’s fantastic. I have used the extra slide down piece for edge cuts several times, which is a great feature, as those types of cuts typically send the dust flying. This captures it.
Nice, that's a really smart move with the slide-down panel to catch the dreaded "Edge Dust". ! I was thinking of a brush-type shroud, but your solution is way more streamlined. Amazing work
I built this for my saw a year ago and it's absolutely cut down on all that nasty top side fine dust that escapes. It has its limitations with regards to bit being able to be used in all types of cuts but it's good for a lot of what I'm doing!
I made your design and it worked awesome! Far exceeded my expectations! But I can't ever stop so I wanted a bigger dust port connection, as my dust collection capacity had grown anyway. I changed the collection head design a bit because while the round curve appears it would encompass the extended blade, in real world cutting my blade is never more than a 1/2" above the product, and typically much less, so leaving the extra space in the collection head didn't add much except to channel the fan effect. I now have a 2" connection port, a drop down baffle connected to the very front of the collection head that drops down as the product clears the front of the head and corrals the stuff your trying to block by hand, with that other piece of wood, also added 2ea 1/4" plexiglass baffles in the collection head that help direct dust toward the 2" chute and also reduce the fan effect like an arc chute in an electrical circuit breaker and used a window latch instead of the turn knob for flip away moments. The performance is unbelievable!! And I would have never got there without watching your apartment video design and coping it, so thank you, I'm certain your work has helped many!
Mike, your improvements sound awesome. I would love to see a photo of it! I have considered also making a new design that would hook up to a larger dust collector line.
This is a great design, and instead of watching and re-watching many times (as I normally would do) to copy the design I decided to give credit where credit is due. Purchased plans! :)
Couple things... your dust extractor still works as a basic blade safety guard, keeping fingers away and reducing chips from hitting your face & eyes. Always a huge plus IMHO, but I understand your disclaimer. Also, as you pointed out... not only should you generally stand to the side whenever possible (for a better view and safety), but I was taught that your eyes should be watching the part/fence area to monitor the workpiece as you cut and not the blade itself. This allows better control of the cut and reduce kickback chances. Nice job with this project. I really like it and I will definitely refer to it when I build my own version. My only suggestion, and it not related to your dust extractor, is to add a splitter to your insert since you don't have a riving knife. I'm in the same boat with my old Craftsman 113 series dated 1968/69.
Very nice and thank you Justin! I've made a dust collector for my table saw based on your design and using it for a while. I use it almost all time, for me, it is by far the best design available in the internet. Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Florianópolis, Brazil!
@@JustinDepew I posted some photos in my "updated-once-in-a-lifetime" blog. The space restrictions that I have are different from yours, so I made a different fixing scheme: moretosprojects.blogspot.com/2019/02/overarm-dust-collector-for-table-saw.html
Thanks. Yes I have considered that. But most people leave their blade at 90 degrees 99% of the time, so the complexity to make the design bevel isn't really worth it. Just don't use the dust collector on those few bevel cuts.
Hi. Always enjoy and learn from your videos. The other day I looked one of your video. You have some DIY circular saw dust cover. I really love to close look! Any chance???
I wouldn't think magnets would be secure enough. Last thing you want is to bump the blade guard while cutting something... The blade would destroy the guard in no time.
Yes my friend very good I go question for you what about if you have to cut like in my country big log of wood don’t work any way I going to use yours ideas in the different perspective means big pieces of wood hard wood we don’t use pine much we use wood call chanul super hard and strong for furniture thanks 🙏
Wearing a microphone might help, but I recommend always normalizing the speech before editing, so that it'll always be the right level. Note: Audacity can handle normalizing. Adding some fabric to some of the walls will also get rid of the 'tiled room effect' (curtains, blankets or the like will work fine). @Justin Depew: I very much appreciate your videos; thank you for making quality designs. I can tell that you go for the extra notch of improvement!

you are one of my best on YT wood working person ,best idea, judgement, Quality and as a person also best. good man thanks from canada.
Thanks for the kind words!

i wish companies would use your adjustable side blocker idea. good stuff, thanks for sharing!
Great hearing from you again 😀
Excellent piece of work dude - the off center retention spring is a great touch.

Nice DC addition! Looking forward to you detailing the caster system. Keep em coming!
Good to see you back, always look forward for to your next video.👍🥃🏴

Thanks for the video. Really enjoy the way you think your way out of a problem.
Thanks buddy, got my plans and completed the main unit. Now just have to design an arm that suits my shop.
That's great! What is your plan for the arm?
@@JustinDepew Basically an adjustable arm than can be quickly moved from table saw to a fixed work bench position.
Pretty slick.
Love your videos. Matthias is looking in his rear view mirror...
Very nice and thank you Justin! I've made a dust collector for my table saw based on your design and using it for a while. I use it almost all time, for me, it is by far the best design available in the internet. Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Florianópolis, Brazil!

Well done. I think this is one of the smoothest designs I have seen. Great to the point video. i will be checking your plans out for sure!
Excellent build!
Thanks for sharing
Great design thx for share
Nice work bro! Thank you!
Nicely done! Thank you!
Thanks Steven!
I really appreciate you. Thank you.
Thanks Neil!
Excellent...
That a neat job, I like it and may well steal it...lol...saved this vid for later reference...and downloaded ad the plans....thank you 👍🏻
Thanks Stuart!
The blade guard is practically AW Production’s design. Nice overhead arm
Very clever idea.Congratulations
Smart! Some moments I thought you were Sheldon Cooper!
Great job Justin! Thank you for sharing the video with us.👍😎JP
Great to see another video from you! Been looking forward to it! The new shop is looking good! Can't wait to see the next videos! Thank you!
You are a genius. Thanks for the video
Vey good design and I just wished it also was designed for cuts with a crosscut sled. I dont see a good solution for that yet.
Awesome!
Great work! One question. How do you remove your fence?
This is excellent. I need to make one for myself! But a quick question how do you use it with the crosscut sled ?
Nice project! Have you given any thought to a design that could also work with the blade beveled?
Thanks. Yes I have considered that. But most people leave their blade at 90 degrees 99% of the time, so the complexity to make the design bevel isn't really worth it. Just don't use the dust collector on those few bevel cuts.
Seeing your Table Saw Blade Dust Collector for the first time. Are the plans still available?
Hi. Always enjoy and learn from your videos.
The other day I looked one of your video. You have some DIY circular saw dust cover. I really love to close look!
Any chance???
Unfortunately I don't have that anymore. It's been replaced by the table saw
Justin Depew oh. But thank your for reply!
Good video. Like.
What happened to the Miata? I was watching the coilover build.really wanted to see the before and after.
My channel has evolved into a woodworking channel so I probably won't do any more car videos as most of my audience is not interested
No riving knife / splitter on that saw?
The saw is from the 60s..they didn't have riving knives back then
@@JustinDepew Makes sense! Thank you :)
What is your table saw model?
Hola lleva medidas específicas me las podría dar
why dont you inlay some super strong magnets and eliminate the knob completely?
I wouldn't think magnets would be secure enough. Last thing you want is to bump the blade guard while cutting something... The blade would destroy the guard in no time.
@@JustinDepew ive seen magnets hold tables together some can be 90lbs hold strength a piece
Yes my friend very good I go question for you what about if you have to cut like in my country big log of wood don’t work any way I going to use yours ideas in the different perspective means big pieces of wood hard wood we don’t use pine much we use wood call chanul super hard and strong for furniture thanks 🙏
Make a video of you making riving knife. Or, just make a riving knife before you loose some fingers.
You will still have dust when you cross cut
That depends on the sled/miter gauge you are using.
I'm now hard of hearing. Therefore can't turn my volume up any higher. Could you wear a mic so your video would be louder?????? Thanks for the update.
Wearing a microphone might help, but I recommend always normalizing the speech before editing, so that it'll always be the right level. Note: Audacity can handle normalizing.
Adding some fabric to some of the walls will also get rid of the 'tiled room effect' (curtains, blankets or the like will work fine).
@Justin Depew: I very much appreciate your videos; thank you for making quality designs.
I can tell that you go for the extra notch of improvement!
Hi Justin. Are you plans for the table saw dust collector still available? It appears your link is broken.
Hi Jeff, yes it's still available. I checked the link and it works fine for me.
