minimize the saw dust in the shop...
simple to install and pretty effective. The only draw back is that slivers of scap wood can easily block the "sawdust tunnel" that feeds the dust into the catcher. Empties easily.

The only dust bag I never have to empty!
I was really hoping this bag would help collect some of my sawdust. After a week of using it about two inches of dust has accumulated in the bag. Actually most of the dust blows out of every other opening in my bosch saw. The bag seems to catch bigger shavings. I have not been sawing any MDF or fine dust producing materials so it may help more with those. The problems seems that all the shavings keep clogging up in my dust port. On the plus side the bag has a squeeze clamp on it so it will work on just about anything.

Get a Vacuum
This device does work, but it clogs up really easily-thus creating tons of blow back from the kerf plate. I used it a few times then retired it. Vacuum or dust pile is the way I roll.

fits dewalt 745
lets face it - it is not a vacuum but it helps. it collects a fair amount of dust from my Dewalt 745. for the price it does alot - i put it on everytime i use my saw since it just makes cleaning up a little easier.

Helps a little with sawdust mess
Ideal for places where you can't hook up a shop vac, though it really doesn't help all that much with the mess the saw makes. My 4000-09 saw blows sawdust everywhere, it seems about 50% actually gets to the exhaust port, regardless of what type of material I'm cutting. The bag catches some of it, but not a lot.

The biggest drawback to the bag is its length. It might seem great for holding lots of dust before needing to be emptied, but it's so long it gets caught in the wheel of the Bosch gravity rise stand. It can be left on if it's rotated 180 degrees at the dust port, but if you forget to flip it back over it won't catch any dust at all.
