Slightly better than nothing, but not as good as a shop vac
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. It is only a little bit better than using the saw without it. 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. This captures about half or more of the dust. 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.

Conclusion: don't bother with this, it's not good value and it gets in the way.

Perfect Fit!
This was a perfect fit for my Dewalt miter saw. I now have much less dust. Even though it does not capture *all* the dust, it still is much better than without this dust bag. I'm surprised Dewalt did not include it with all their miter saws. This is a must for the home user.

This was as I had expected. I received it in a satisfactory time frame

As promised
Purchase went without a hitch. I wish all purchases were this effecient. Thanks, M. Bowes

Less than worthless
I use a DW 12" saw. This needs zero stars. This bag falls off when the blade arm is raised. After a half day of chopping it had pehaps 1/3 cup of sawdust with the rest on the floor. Sent back as defective. Don't waste your money unless you want to duct tape it on for looks. The other reviews about this problem were dead on.
