The modification to this machine was a great success and I recommend that you definitely try this especially if you use your machine in a workshop.
The Bosch GTS 10 XC is a very good machine and with a good quality blade it is even possible to cut melamine without chipping (See the link below).
I discovered another issue with the saw, it was a problem with the riving knife. I will add the link below as soon as I have edited and uploaded that video. Subscribe and click the bell icon to be notified of the next 2 videos.

Thank you Rick. Much appreciated.
Hi Mike, thanks for this. I just bought a 2nd hand 10XC with a blown motor (I knew that!), good deal. I've now replaced the field coil, armature and bearings. What a job with all that wiring and soft-start/speed controller in the mix! All working fine now. Next up I want build a mobile cart for it. I was thinking of putting a shallow tray just below the saw to catch and easily throw out any dust that falls down. I've now added your shroud modification and general sealing of all crevices to my list 👍🙂 I only have a glorified vacuum cleaner, so want to get max suction around the blade. I'm also looking into noise reduction, perhaps sound absorption material inside, but taking care not to block motor venting. Greetings from Cape Town 😁
Hi Cornel. I'm sure you'll be very happy with that machine. If you're using a vacuum cleaner I'd suggest you keep the port at the back. It actually works quite well it just isn't big enough for a proper extractor.
@@madmikemakes3056 Yeah, I've got a domestic Karcher, but which is rated for power tools. I'm definitely going to make your sealing plate for the blade shroud, leave the bottom grill off, and have a tray in my cabinet to catch any dust that may escape the blade shroud. Where are you based?

Thanks for the ideas, looking forward to part 2. I have the same machine and just spent the weekend machining hundreds of basswood blocks and strips to make dowels and I was covered in dust from the chest down (even with the existing dust extraction working quite well) there is a lot of dust that escapes in all directions. I have built my machine into a rolling base that has an opening that the saw sits over and a tight fitting drawer below to catch all the dust that falls out the bottom (also removed the plastic grid) I also need to seal between the saw and my cabinet to limit that area of escape - your idea eliminates the need to seal that area as your suction panel closes off the entire bottom - I may need to rethink my solutions. The dowel maker has me intrigued as well - currently sending out my material to have made into dowels but it would be better if I can do it myself in-house so to speak.
Hi Alan thanks for the comment. You have inspired me to upload those other videos asap.
Good idea ......
You have a new follower from italy.
I have gts10 too
This problem is very important...
Un saluto da LUCCA in Tuscany
Thanks for watching. Let me know how it works out.
Thought this was a great informative video - easy to understand and easy to follow - thank you - can't wait to see more of the same quality!
Thank you!
Great review, easy to understand and follow! Thanks MadMikeMakes, looking forward to future reviews and tips.
Thanks Tracy I really appreciate the feedback.
Oh by the way I do requests. If you would like a topic featured in a video on my channel I would be happy to do a video.
Mike, you didn't mention the circular extract port at the rear of the saw. If you connect a powerful enough extract system to that you will only get a fine dust inside the main body of the saw. General maintenance will get rid of that. The reason you are getting air born dust all over your workshop is because you have a dust pump extract system with cloth filter bags instead of a pleated cleanable filter. You are cutting wood so there will always be some dust somewhere.
Hi thanks Peter. Where do you live? Being in South Africa there are certain systems not available here. Going to look into that though. Thanks for the feedback.
@@madmikemakes3056 Hi and greetings from England
Ahhh I just had this same idea hit me while looking at my own bosch saw. Though I plan on using a good deal of foam backing rod to fill some of the gaps. And for the bottom I plan on using a piece of clear plexiglass on a hinge a one end and then some weather stripping.
Great thanks for the post.
Yes, there are unprofessional products sold by Bosch: All the cheap green stuff, build for home workers. Blue is Bosch Professional, indeed meant for professionals...
I really like that saw. It's only a jobsite saw but it really cuts accurately.
Hi everyone. Apologies for the poor sound quality. looks like I will have to invest in a Mike :-)
Thanks for an informative video! Was wondering if you use a zero clearance insert which would block almost all the vacuum air flow now that you've covered all the other holes in the saw. Thinking about whether the plates you made to cover the blade angle adjustment slot in the front would have to come off to allow enough air in. Your thoughts?
Hi Walter. That is a good question. I do use a zero clearance insert and I have a feeling that you're right. I'm in the U.S. at the moment and I want to do a follow-up video when I get back. I was thinking about drilling holes in the insert to allow better airflow past the blade.
And where is part 2?

Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the nudge, John. seems I forgot to add a link to the description and end screen. Just did that now. Your post is much appreciated.
Hi, great video I have the same model and struggling with the dust flying all over the place, I did similar idea but instead of removing the lower cover I created a hole on the saw stand and stardust will fall into the box with vacuum connected to both the rear output of the saw and the box it helps a lot but still got few leaking mainly from the sides of the saw
Yes, I was thinking of trying that. I saw some dust extraction on another saw and would like to try it out if I can get my hands on the material. It's basically a dust shroud attached to the cover and it can collapse as you tilt the blade to 45 degrees.
try using a mic so we can hear you.
Hi Mr Snookerballs I am a Mike. Kidding. I went out and bought one.
Great video Mike will DEFINITELY share with my joiner
Thank you Sue your support it is much appreciated.
By the way maybe we can do a collaboration video to showcase your business when I get better at this :-)
Hey oom Mike. Great vid man, the dust out the bottom and past that gap is an issue for me too.
Thanks for comment Randall. Much appreciated.
@@madmikemakes3056 follow up video? :) I'll donate a white maple/purple heart cutting board in exchange for your posting that update haha
@@randallcrisp3266 Hi Randall yup I'm in the US currently, been here since 5 December so I guess I'll only make another video when I get back.
Ah. No stress. I really need to get a wall mounted dust collector installed. Vacuum and dust cyclone are not enough and damn loud
